NOIRE

Al Freeman (b. 1981, Canada) is a sculptor who reproduces everyday objects at an exaggerated scale, rendering them puffy and tactile. By presenting her works as partially deflated, she playfully imbues a beer can, a hammer, or a lava lamp with a message of subverted masculinity. In her Comparisons series, Freeman juxtaposes iconic artworks with images lifted from the backwaters of the internet.
