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.
