What is Real

NAPOLEON member Alexis Nutini hosts Philadelphia Artist Kay Healy

What is Real is an exhibition of stuffed, screen printed, painted and sewn representational and appropriated objects. Fabric figures combined with still life objects illustrate specific stories and create surreal narratives. In this recent series Healy utilizes templates of hands, legs, busts, and torsos cut into fabric and screen printed multiples that are stuffed and sewn into dimensional forms. This new direction in Healy’s work takes on themes of loss, separation and anxiety, addressing the boundaries between what is real and what is artifice.
