LAURA CURCIO

Altared Bodies

The metamorphosis of the female is a powerful spell. She swells, she creates, she shrinks. Yet in myth and modernity she is cursed. Altared Bodies examines these archaic fables of transformation with a critical lens, dispelling the tradition of the woman as object and other. In return, the works speak to an honest return to form as a defiant reclamation of selfhood.
