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, thatās really impactful to me. my favorite part is she gives the animals proper burials after theyāve served their purpose, giving them a sense of dignity. she often leaves traces of the animalās blood in the work and the cortisol from their bodies sometimes has unique reactions to the photosensitive chemicals. the environment and itās 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.

for overall artists, i really enjoy the body of work by photographer renĆ©e cox. i love her takes on representation and her unapologetic nature. i wasnāt much of a photography girl before her, but i get it now. i also really enjoy the paintings of oda iselin sĆønderland and the mood sheās able to capture with them. and i canāt forget the works of aya takano! i love the world sheās crafted and the figures that come out of it. she reminds me that iām a woman but also still a girl if that makes sense.
for favorite contemporary works of art in general, thatās even harder as i have so many! for now, iāll choose kiki smithās 1996 piece āconstellationā (pictured here). but i could go on forever.

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 ā 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
