Artist Statement
Toronto-based artist, Gina D’Aloisio (BFA) utilizes interdisciplinary sculpture and installation, her primary material focuses are hyperreal mould making and found objects. The replication of flesh and the body using silicone, in combination with found objects explore the human relationship with the material world. Her work is a reflection of the times, employing satire and irony to both poke fun at, and seriously contemplate our world.
