kontortionist I

KONTORT explores the extent to which people are willing to push themselves to be the norm, to be accepted, to be successful; grotesquely twisting the self for empty goals.

The way you allow your figures to exist in space is interesting.Iwonder what this work would be like if it were really huge.

Hello, Marianne and welcome. Your work looks very interesting both as conception and execution. These works remind me of a show of Francesco Clemente that I once saw and had me stay in the gallery until they closed.
