Daphne Ahlers: Die Würflerin in Bloomington, MN

Malleable, soft materials, together with their "shells," form Ahlers' approach to cultural sciences and gender politics
Within her practice, German artist Daphne Ahlers (born 1986) works with the concepts of "soft sculpture" and "shell sculpture." Through her use of the malleable, adaptable features of foam, latex and other synthetic materials, Ahlers draws on symbols of patriarchal images and transforms them into alternative forms of expression.
