Piccinini takes us on excursions into parallel domains and worlds of charming but unsettling beings: mutant half-human beasts, baby trucks and human scooters. Her installations use silicon, fibreglass, metal, hair, fur and fabric to create illusions of reality in extraordinary detail. She describes her creatures as 'an alternate world made out of the implications of the real one'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46819959013534,"sku":"ADS-9780975190166","price":49.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780975190166.jpg?v=1778467028","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780975190166","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
