Florencia Escudero's sculptures include soft and handmade components printed with digitally-rendered imagery.  Feminist theory, cyber culture, and an embrace of various techniques such as digital photo collage, hand sewing, and silk-screening place each sculpture in the realm of both the machine-made and the handmade.  As the artist notes, "When making these pieces I am thinking about the history of feminist art that looks at the objectification of women's bodies. I want to flip the expectation and look at how objects become human."  Escudero received an MFA in Sculpture from the Yale University School of Art in 2012. Her works have been exhibited at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT, Rachel Uffner Gallery, New York, NY, and Petzel Gallery, New York, NY, among other venues. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
