australian artist doing camera-less photography to create stunning works using roadkill, chemical reactions and natural elements on photosensitive surfaces. had so much trouble choosing which piece to showcase here bc not only is all her work beautiful but it makes me so, so emotional. if you ever have the pleasure of seeing her work in person, the titles read like poetry and are often written in graphite on the piece itself. for some reason, that’s really impactful to me. my favorite part is she gives the animals proper burials after they’ve served their purpose, giving them a sense of dignity. she often leaves traces of the animal’s blood in the work and the cortisol from their bodies sometimes has unique reactions to the photosensitive chemicals. the environment and it’s relationship to human infrastructure is a topic very near and dear to my heart so her artwork has left an immense impression on me. so thankful to live in a time where i can see stuff like this.

very difficult to choose

for overall artists, i really enjoy the body of work by photographer renée cox. i love her takes on representation and her unapologetic nature. i wasn’t 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 she’s able to capture with them. and i can’t forget the works of aya takano! i love the world she’s crafted and the figures that come out of it. she reminds me that i’m a woman but also still a girl if that makes sense. for favorite contemporary works of art in general, that’s even harder as i have so many! for now, i’ll choose kiki smith’s 1996 piece “constellation” (pictured here). but i could go on forever.

Ana Mendieta

thinking of her, always and forever. particular favorites from her oeuvre are the 'silueta' series (selection depicted below), rupestrian sculptures, and body tracks (1982). taken from this world violently and far, far too soon.

enamored, obsessed, wowed, speechless — her work is breathtaking and cuts to the bone. her sculptures are all absurd, interesting, fabulous and distort bodies in ways that really resonate with me. some pieces featured
