I had the pleasure of viewing Petah Coyne's incredible sculptures at Galerie Lelong in New York years ago and was so excited to see her being exhibited at Art Basel Miami. There are few words to describe how amazing Coyne's works are and they truly need to be viewed in person to get the full effect. Coyne uses so many different materials in her works that you always find something new and surprising. Whether they are hanging down from the ceiling or rising up like a mountain from the floor, Coyne's works are hauntingly beautiful.
