Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

Rose Nestler's artwork, "The better to see you with," showcases soft pink fabric elements embedded within a wooden surface featuring abstract, curvy shapes and cutouts. The interplay of textures and gentle pastel hues highlights the artist's focus on reinterpreting everyday objects with a feminine lens. Her technique of combining fabric and wood creates a juxtaposition that subverts traditional gendered stereotypes through its playful yet critical form. This piece is part of Nestler’s broader work, where she uses oversized sculptures to transform patriarchal symbols into spaces of feminine empowerment and exploration. ...

Artist

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. ...
