Antonia Brown is an artist based between Cape Town and Brussels. Her practice develops through sculpture, writing and film. The silk sculptures of Antonia Brown’s ‘Winged Complexion’ are sites on which to re-enter historical moments where the body has been restricted through attire. They recall nineteenthcentury clothing devices, such as bonnets, crinolines, head-irons, corsets and purses. Through methods of imitation, distortion and dissolution, Brown traces recent collective memory.
