Andrea Hasler: A continuing exploration...

I decided to further explore Hasler's work.  I found her website where she has various documentation of installations that she does.  Her artist statement states:

"My work offers models of relational aesthetics that are undesirable at first glance in terms of the ideal tie between desire and the social sphere. It speaks of nature, which references existentialist moments within the repetitive scenario between power and struggle, consumed and consumer, subject and object, action and reaction in popular culture."

I enjoy Hasler's work because she questions boundaries and standards we live by.  I have come to realize that like Hasler's my work is about the emotional body, inspired by tumultuous thoughts that have escaped outside myself.  Looking through her work, it is obvious that she is able to talk about her work, while I am still trying to find my footing.

Below is a link to her personal website, enjoy!


Here is an example of one of her works:
