Sandy Skoglund-American photographer, sculptor, and installation artist-is known for transforming ordinary settings into extraordinary scenarios. She studied at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, between 1964 and 1968, and later earned her M.F.A. from the University of Iowa. In her work, she capitalizes on a wry humor and an exquisite sense of muted color and composition. Her elaborate room-sized installations and resulting Cibachrome photographs present domestic environments in which everyday objects are combined with unexpected elements to suggest the anxieties and dangers inherent in contemporary life. In Walking on Eggshells, two nude women stand in a flesh-colored bathroom, its floor covered in eggs, and both women are oblivious to the snakes and rabbits sharing this most private of spaces. |
