About
Miri Azouri
Miri Azouri draws inspiration for her works from human nature and from everyday life. Miri believes that the human body is a rare creation, and exploring it is fascinating and infinite.
With regard to the wire mesh sculpting which she has focused on for the past few years the artist says: "The most exciting thing is seeing the tension between the mass of the sculpture and its movement in space. I particularly like the contrast that is created between the hard metallic material and the emotion-filled objects that are produced from it."
