in conversation with Adriana Wynne

Adriana Wynne’s sculptural practice delves into the thresholds between internal and external bodily realms, translating visceral sensations into tangible forms. Working across sculpture, installation, and painting, she reimagines the body as both fragmented and fluid, challenging conventional anatomical perceptions. Through materiality, scale, and abstraction, Wynne engages with the emotional and psychological dimensions of physicality, particularly discomfort, detachment, and transformation. A graduate of the Royal College of Art (2023) and Parsons School of Design (2016–2020), Wynne’s work is deeply informed by her experiences of bodily sensation, often isolating and reconstructing specific elements, folds of skin, internal structures, or fleeting feelings of tension. Whether through delicate hand-blown glass, malleable latex, or kinetic movement, her sculptures evoke the paradox of a body that is at once present and elusive. wtf? had the pleasure to speak to the artist to discuss her process, the significance of discomfort in her work, and how material and form shape her exploration of the body as an emotional and ever-shifting entity.
