Penny Davenport's solo exhibition 'The Looks of a Look That's Looking' is on-view at Harkawik, New York until 19 November 2022.
"Penny Davenport’s figures are presented to us in a state of psychological nudity. They make eye contact with us, inviting a sort of connection we cannot make with one another. Their inhumanity renders them incapable of judgement, and while their appearance may be soothing, something unsettling lies beneath. Their joy is dotted with discomfort. Their loneliness suggests peace. They hold the tension between the desire to satisfy social conventions and the will to express what must not be shared with the group."
