Kitty Blandy
Blandy's interest focuses on existential expressions of the body, what Gilles Deleuze terms as the reality of becoming. Intense examination of the human form in all its physicality has led me to the concept of “man becoming animal”. Recent work has shifted from the primarily human figurative to men discovering their own tails, dogs with grinning human heads and the anthropomorphic changes that these possibilities suggest. Her investigation into the human body through the autographic mark allows her to entertain the idea of animalism as a form of sensuality and the physical sympathy (sharing of sensation and condition) that we as humans have with the animal.
