Piccinini’s body of work unfolds in the crucible of transformation. Scooters can transmogrify into bucking stags; sphincters can twinkle like stars in the night. Where Piccinini has been most often celebrated is for a series of works that depict an array of what can best be described as ‘creatures’. Made out fibreglass and silicone, nearly all the artist’s creatures have some form of covering of real human hair. Again, her concept and craft redirecting the nature of this material, alienating the reality of human hair as it covers her otherworldly figures, even as it remains faithful to its original, human function.
