Today, these emotionally charged materials coalesce in a post-colonial vision for an ecological future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Tamara Kostianovsky creates sculptures from textiles that address the relationship between landscapes, the body, and violence. This volume highlights the distinct bodies of her work including sculptures of butchered carcasses, slain birds, and severed trees. Built with layers of texture, color, and emotion, these works dive head-first into the tension between beauty and horror, confronting histories of systemic violence and transforming them into utopian environments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gonzalo Casals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3777439177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777439174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 9.21w x 0.47d","brand":"Gonzalo Casals","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995466105087,"sku":"9783777439174","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bc95ff9-923f-4142-873d-45cfc4f23325.jpg?v=1683335973","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tamara-kostianovsky-gonzalo-casals-9783777439174","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
