Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This striking sculptural piece appears to be a fragmented human figure, its limbs and torso composed of intricately layered beige and pale pink segments. The overall composition evokes a sense of decay and disintegration, with the figure seemingly collapsing in on itself. The artist has employed a distinctive technique, blending smooth and rough textures to create a visceral, unsettling effect. The artwork likely explores themes of the human condition, mortality, and the fragility of the physical form, reflecting the contemporary artist's unique perspective on the human experience. ...

B.1970, American

Katie Grinnan’s work is focused on the body and its functions. She is fascinated by kinaesthesis, cognition and vision, specifically the ways in which these intricate and finely calibrated knowledge systems provide inherently subjective and unique perceptions of reality, emotion and self. Grinnan is interested in the occupation of different states of consciousness, for example meditation and dreaming, and how they different themselves from the state of wakefulness and full cognition. The artist’s sculptures are manifestations of the mind and its boundaries, rendered in materials like plastic, enamel and sand, often casts of her own body. In ‘Mirage’ (2011), Grinnan cast her body incrementally during her daily yoga routine, with a symphony of limbs made from sand extending outwards, delineating the passing of time and the body’s perpetual journey towards disintegration.
