BUST: a sensual display of female form
Work by Alexandra Becker-Black


…Becker-Black captures the figure at its most human--the way a single muscle, movement or stretch reveals that which we are most hopeful for, dream of, or find passion in. By combining the freshness of a gestural sketch with deftness of volume, Becker-Black builds a type of poetry from the visual. Becker-Black's work takes her viewer to these places of vulnerability--of danger--then safely escorts them through, meanwhile revealing a connection to faith, a restoration of humanness, and a fascination with the elemental functions of the human body.
