Mary-Audrey Ramirez

MUST FIGHT TO SURVIVE

Digital techniques and creatures from computer games are central to many of the works of Mary-Audrey Ramirez (b. Luxembourg, 1990, lives and works in Berlin). Thanks to her sawing machine, the artist creates her figures without preliminary sketches in a process reminiscent of écriture automatique. With her fabric sculptures and embroidery pictures, the artist creates allegorical pictorial worlds that are as eerie as they are sexy. The textile surfaces of nylon are shiny, holographic, slimy and oozing, the embroideries sketchy and uncensored. The protagonists are animals or mixed creatures involved in fighting or love games, with the two merging seamlessly.
