Vanessa Safavi: Alien Armpit - Hardcover

by Vanessa Safavi (Artist)

An exuberant, in-depth exploration of materiality, from an artist who favors silicone

Swiss artist Vanessa Safavi (born 1980) explores themes of otherness, alienation, tourism and exoticization through her sculptures and installations. Using both organic and inorganic materials, from taxidermized birds to molded silicone in the form of human limbs, her work is both abstract and representative, playful and sensual.
