Biography
Micol works across drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation. Her interdisciplinary practice is inspired by the idea of conflicting states in the human being, the exposure of what is usually hidden, and notions of the visceral and the corporeal. The installation ‘Internal Exposure’, with the wall collages in particular, takes the intestine as visual inspiration and manipulates its shapes to suggest an interior struggle, as well as exploring how these strong emotions can be freed in space through physical pieces. By working between two-dimensional and three-dimensional media and removing the borders of the traditional canvas, the work questions the limits of the physical body, exposing the uncontrollability of internal emotions and projecting them into the viewer’s space. The pieces are a result of an obsessive layering process that combines collage, drawing and sculpture, bringing elements of chance and uncontrol into the making, which results in complicated textures. Ultimately, the aim of Micol’s artwork is to unsettle established divisions between the emotional and physical body and prompt the viewers to question their own relationship with themselves.
