Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary sculptural work features a striking interplay of colors, shapes, and textures. The composition is dominated by a series of intricately woven, copper-colored feathers that appear to cascade from a wooden frame, creating a sense of movement and fluidity. The overall palette combines warm, earthy tones with pops of metallic accents, lending the piece a rustic yet refined aesthetic. The artist's skilled use of mixed media, including wood, metal, and fibers, suggests an exploration of the relationship between nature and industrial materials. This visually captivating sculpture likely invites the viewer to consider themes of transformation, fragility, and the delicate balance found in the natural world. ...

Artist
Paloma Proudfoot
B.1992, British

Paloma Proudfoot’s practice spans sculpture, clothes making, performance, and text, bringing together strands of personal narrative, historical inquiry, and contemporary cultural references. Her work frequently addresses the fraught relationship between the human body and its constructed counterpart, referencing the gendered legacies of anatomical models, mannequins, and tailoring. With a background in garment making, Proudfoot often begins with paper templates before translating these into materials such as glazed ceramic, glass, metal, and textiles. Her approach combines the irregularity of handcraft with the structured logic of industrial production and the organic complexity of biomorphic forms. Through this interplay, her sculptures evoke the body’s vulnerability and porous boundaries. Emotions like shame, grief, and strength run through her work, as she draws out the metaphorical potential of materials to express what resists articulation. ...
