Pauline Shaw1 — House of CoHit | Los Angeles Contemporary Art Gallery

Pauline Shaw

Based in New York

Pauline Shaw (b. 1988, Kirkland, USA) creates sculpturally rooted works informed by genealogies of craft, intertwining personal histories, cultural inheritance, scientific inquiry, and mysticism. Best known for large-scale felts and installations, her abstracted imagery draws from diverse sources including MRI-scans, ancestral textile patterns, early cartography, and ornate motifs to create dually fluid and fragmentary compositions with mythopoetic narratives.

Shaw has recently exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Frost Museum, Miami; The Shed, New York; Chapter NY, New York; Naranjo 141, CDMX, Mexico; and Newchild Gallery, Antwerp, Belgium. Her work is held in international public and private collections including at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and JP Morgan Chase Collection.
