Emmanuel and I snuck out of the office early last Friday to visit Sarah Applebaum as she put the finishing touches on Soft Core, her new show at Receiver Gallery. Her work is a sort of stream-of-consciousness sculpture loosely based on dreams and archetypal imagery, and it often involves some kind of togetherness. In her portfolio are a group sweater, and a conjoined Yeti suit wearable by three people at once. Her new installation is a cozy explosion of rainbow colors and softness as you will see in the photos below.
Sarah’s dogs enjoy relaxing on her sculptures and modeling her costumes.
Emmanuel also enjoys modeling.
