About the Item
Artist Commentary:
Abstract forms emerge from remembrances of disco dancing, Earth Wind & Fire, darkness, heat, perspiration and glitz. Materials are twisted into ambiguous shapes, stretched and entangled into anthropomorphic objects to engage sensibilities of seduction, revulsion, and humor.
Keywords: abstract, softsculpture, figurative
Artist Biography:
Bobbi Meier is a Chicago-based visual artist working in various mediums, including; sculpture, collage, drawing, and photography. Her work is realized through provocative use of materials, such as pantyhose, spandex, porcelain, and found home furnishings; embedding themes of emotional history, struggle and loss in its making. Ms. Meier was recently awarded the prestigious John Michael Kohler Arts/Industry Residency, Kohler WI, where she transformed her soft sculptural forms into a new body of work made from industrial porcelain. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Kohler Foundation and The John Michael Kohler Arts Center. She earned her MAAE and MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
