Osiol
Magdalena Abakanowicz uses deformation in her sculptural works to convey feelings of alienation that she experienced as a child. She creates figures from materials such as bronze, burlap and more recently iron, fragmented and distorted they almost look like mummified bodies. Some are headless or missing limbs , even merged with animals, for example her work 'Osiol' merges a human figure with a distorted, featureless donkey head. It is clear then that her work involves and focuses on the deformation of the human body.
