Patricia Piccinini, "Boot Flower," 2015, installation view, silicone, fibreglass, human hair
This year, weird was wonderful. On one walk through, I passed Patricia Piccinini's work at Hosfelt Gallery-fantastic, bizarre, fleshy, silicone, bronze and fiberglass sculptures of flowers that seem to emerge out of bodily organs, or organisms, detailed with human hair. These were presented alongside the Australian artist's linen canvases splattered in nipple-like circles of silicone, and beautiful ink drawings of parts of women's bodies.
