Kinetic sculptures by Claire Oswalt
Brooklyn based artist and craftswoman Claire Oswalt has created these remarkable life size pieces, that will change your whole perspective on anthropomorphism. Working on a true to life scale, her massive mixed media sculptures are built from a machined wood then jointed and layered with illustrated paper. In essence she’s created life size paper dolls able to be moved about and interact with each other. The message is striking, her hollowed 2D creations portray a flat life of despondency, strife and struggle. They wrestle with each other, fighting for love or attention, a planed reflection of our own static puppeteen lives.
