Oliver Herring is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York. His works include knitting Mylar, performances, photo sculptures and video. His woven sculptures of human figures, clothing, and furniture made from knitted Mylar, a transparent and reflective material, evoke introspection, mortality, and memory. Since 1998, Herring has created stop-motion videos and participatory performances with “off the street” strangers. He makes sets for his videos and performances with minimal means and materials, recycling elements from one artwork to the next.In a recent series of photo-sculptures Herring painstakingly photographs a model from all possible angles, then cuts and pastes the photographs onto the sculptural form of his subject.
