The Anatomical Crocheted Sculptures of Anne Mondro

Anne Mondro uses thin steel and copper wire to crochet part of the anatomy, each carrying both an unsettling texture. Her work is described as exploring "the physical and emotional complexity of the human body." The artist also crafts digital prints that reflect on the connections between humans.

Wang highlights each flesh fold on these horses, making their sculptural bodies seem lively.
