Chie Aoki is a talented Japanese sculptor

Chie Aoki is a talented Japanese sculptor, who graduated from the craft department at the Kanazawa College of Art.

Chie Aoki’s sculptures are very mysterious and so is the artist. There’s a complete loss of identity in the glistening black faceless forms. Aoki is an exception to the rule that an artist has to have information, a website, and gallery exhibitions that are available to peruse online, instead there is hardly a trace of the artist’s identity available the web. This unusual lack of a significant online presence seems to continue the underlying theme of these beautiful sculptures; that they are a mystery and the work speaks itself.

Antony Crossfield (b.1972) is a British photographer

Antony Crossfield, 1972, UK, is a photographer who digitally manipulates his images. He tries to "question and undermine traditional conceptions of corporeality whilst exploring the relationship between the body and identity." Much like a painter he combines his subjects with each other or other objects, presenting the body as unstable and constantly in flux. In his series Foreign Body he constructed the final photographs from various elements shot at different times and angles. He carefully puts every aspect of the images together, also thinking about the decor and the objects in the room as narrative symbols. The process of making an image can take up to several months. The following images come from the series Foreign Body, Missing Mass and War Dance.
