DescriptionCostantino, an Argentinean artist who works in
several media, photographed herself with one of her sculptures, Pig Ball (2006), in her studio. Costantino
draws together many references that, according to her artist’s statement,
“crisscross some element of her imaginary and her identity as an artist. The
constant is her role as leading character, representing different
personalities, glamorous and feminine, hard worker, maternal, intimidating.”
