Kirsten Drewes is a German born, Sydney based artist. Her soft sculpture work reflects her practice-led research of her PhD at UNSW AD titled "Conflicting Resonances: Soft Forms and Materials in Contemporary Art", where she examined connections between Freudian psychoanalytical concepts used in Surrealism and contemporary soft sculpture. By using abstracted bodily forms and soft materials and being a woman artist, she translates highly personal and complex experiences into artistic forms that push back against familiar cultural forms, representational categorisations, and normative readings concerning traditionally defined gender roles such as stereotypes of femininity.
