Canadian Sculptures' Society

Sophie DeFrancesca

Artist Statement:
For my dresses/fashion pieces - Designers use an array of fabrics and materials to sculpt a woman's form. The materials I have chosen for this series is not a solid one, but rather a sketetal, malleable poultry wire that reveals an imagined flesh or ripple of bone. My current pieces are inspired by starlets of the silver screen and other sirens whom women of every generation have desired for their strength, sensuality, confidence and glamour.
