This Polish artist is one I look up to and respect a great deal. Having been a child and a Jew during the Houlocaust, and living through it, her relationship with parenthood, feminity and most of all, her own body is so there in her work. She's subtle and shocking and investigates her own form without shame or secrecy. This stuff is incredible. I have been so inspired by her work.

These images are so disturbing, so honest and so utterly powerful that I find myself staring at them for hours.
She seems trapped and yet free at the same time. Her body is her subject.

This dessert series really makes me shiver. The idea of a womans body being served up for male consumption is not something that is alien to any woman living in today's world.
Dear troy,
ReplyDeletefor an university project I would like to use a photo from Alina Szapocznikow (the one of her mouth). I'm making a culture site in a magazine that my class is making for a project. It's not going to be published but I need the picture licensing. Do you know who made them?
