Deconstructing her figures into folded, magnified studies of skin and flesh, Isobel Fiechtner challenges the boundaries of how we view the human body. “This narrative of flesh,” she says, “presents the subject with no complications, no detailed features, allowing the eyes to view it in its simplest, most fragile form, creating a tension that doesn’t allow distraction from the unavoidable nakedness of the figures.”
