Portrait of a sculptor

CATWINGS

at The Fashion Fair,

Bella Center, Copenhagen

February 2003

The title is a contraction of catwalk and wings. This series of unique copper sculptures is based on female plastic mannequins. By the seductively beautiful eradiation the sculptor is focusing upon the polished surface and seduction, that marks our society and of which the fashion industry is an exponent.

On the surface of it, the sculptures are seductively beautiful, the artist explains, but closer inspection reveals that they are merely insubstantial surfaces. I am exhibiting these perfect plastic women that are as cold as ice virgins, in order to make the spectators reflect upon the turning point our world has reached.
