| Description: |
A portfolio that features the author's tattooed porcelain torsos, created in the mid-1960s. |
| Synopsis: |
Reaching back to the primordial, Michele Oka Doner's sculpted figures act as human archetypes. The structure of the body, organs, and veins are re-formed into rich textures of coral, roots, rock and bark that express both the essential geology of the earth and the human body. "Human Nature" begins with Oka Doner's tattooed porcelain torsos, created in the mid-1960s, and culminates with the visceral power of her more recent life-size cast bronzes. Designed by award-winning graphic designer Massimo Vignelli, this portfolio includes an essay by distinguished contemporary art historian Donald Kuspit. |
