Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a series of light blue, tufted shapes arranged in a symmetrical pattern. The central element resembles a butterfly with its wings outstretched, while the surrounding forms suggest stylized facial features like eyes and lips. The overall composition has a whimsical, almost surreal quality, blending organic and geometric elements. The artist's use of soft, muted colors and plush, quilted textures creates a sense of tactile allure and invites the viewer to engage with the piece in a sensory manner. This work seems to explore themes of identity, transformation, and the playful collision of the human and the natural world. ...

Rose Nestler

B.1983, American

Spanning sculpture, video and installation, Rose Nestler’s work mines societal expectations of and relationships to well-known objects, instilling an omnipotent feminine power into the iconic items she recreates. Nestler’s fabric sculptures employ forms and materials that serve to highlight and simultaneously subvert the ways that gendered and trite stereotypes play out on, or impact the experience of their wearers / users. Through reinterpreting loaded garments and objects into oversized soft sculptures and wall hangings that straddle humour, shame and pride, Nestler reclaims iconic patriarchal institutions as feminine spaces. ...
