Rationale
A quick google image search of Kiki Smith and I instantly resonated with her work conceptually and aesthetically. In particular the aesthetic, which conveys an 'otherness', has informed my own practice. Tho I have chosen to head in a different direction regarding the level of abstration and manipulation of the human form.

Kiki Smith (born January 18, 1954) is a West German-born American artist [1] whose work has addressed the themes of sex, birth and regeneration. Her figurative work of the late 1980s and early 1990s confronted subjects such as AIDS, gender and race, while recent works have depicted the human condition in relationship to nature.
Using a multitude of mediums and materials, Kiki Smith’s collections are meditations on life and spirituality, often featuring narratives about origins and endings.
