Sylvie Hayes-Wallace lives and works in New York. Her sculptural practice explores the confinements of the self in its thoughts, feelings, and the body as a barrier between the inner self and external world. Pulling from an ever-evolving personal archive of markers of time and guided by the measurements of her body, she incorporates these archives into sculptures and collages. By taking inventory of the self, Hayes-Wallace attempts to understand, organize, and contain the chaos of the mind by mirroring the precarious constructs of our interior world and exterior surroundings. She has had solo exhibitions at Silke Lindner, New York; Chapter NY, New York; In Extenso, Clermont-Ferrand, France; and Bad Water, Knoxville; among others. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at Rose Easton, London; Chapter NY, New York; Simone Subal Gallery, New York; and King’s Leap, New York; among others. She is represented by Silke Lindner, New York.
