for overall artists, i really enjoy the body of work by photographer renĂŠe cox. i love her takes on representation and her unapologetic nature. i wasnât much of a photography girl before her, but i get it now. i also really enjoy the paintings of oda iselin sønderland and the mood sheâs able to capture with them. and i canât forget the works of aya takano! i love the world sheâs crafted and the figures that come out of it. she reminds me that iâm a woman but also still a girl if that makes sense.
for favorite contemporary works of art in general, thatâs even harder as i have so many! for now, iâll choose kiki smithâs 1996 piece âconstellationâ (pictured here). but i could go on forever.
