Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork presents a striking composition of natural and artificial elements. The colors are primarily earthy tones, with the brown and gray tones of the concrete surface contrasting with the golden hues of the organic materials. The central feature is a cluster of intricately shaped, twisted objects that resemble tree roots or coral formations, surrounded by various bottles and other discarded items. The overall effect suggests a collision between the natural and the man-made, hinting at themes of environmental decay and the fragile relationship between humanity and nature. The artist's intention may be to explore the impact of human activities on the natural world. ...

Candice Lin
Artist
Candice Lin
B.1979, American

Candice Lin works among multidisciplinary media, such as sculpture and video, which explores complex themes of cultural, gender, and racial disparities, uncontrolled sexualities, and non-normative behavior. Her work critiques the permeable nature of delineations, employing transformative materials to highlight the fluidity of boundaries: a sculptural tableau of a tar-coated cornfield seamlessly transitioning into a hirsute, black pig, digital reinterpretations of Mapplethorpe’s Black Book nudes metamorphosed into Martian geological forms, and a life-sized cockroach with an iridescent, spaceship-like shell punctuated with silicone vaginas, oozing suggestively. Lin's work orbits the themes of the fluidity and malleability of the boundaries between the self and the other. It further scrutinizes how Western ideologies of self-identity exert influence on power dynamics inherent within conceptions of individualism, selfhood, liberty, and differentiation. Through her exploration of marginalized histories and the legacies of colonialism, along with the materials that bridge them, her work threads together disparate narratives of migration, biological warfare, and the colonial relationships of Britain and America with China. ...
