Sheree Hovsepian

Sheree Hovsepian (born 1974 in Isfahan) is an Iranian-born American artist. Her practice highlights the physicality of the photograph and photography's relationship to the human body. She employs ceramic, string, nylon, velvet, and photography in her assemblages to compose a sense of the framed physical body represented in her deliberately chosen mediums. Coaxed into sculptural forms, layered with tactile materials, and assembled into larger compositions, her work oscillates between object and image, creating an embodied experience of the photographic document.
Sheree Hovsepian's work is in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Bronx Museum, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Everson Museum of Art, among others.
