Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a pair of pink inflatable limbs suspended from a metal bar, creating an unusual and visually striking composition. The vibrant pink hue and the organic, almost absurd shapes of the limbs challenge the viewer's perception of the human form. The contrasting blue straps that bisect the limbs add a conceptual layer, hinting at the tension between the natural and the artificial.

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. ...
