“Retro Funk” by Charlotte Raberger received second prize in the Visual Art division of the 2022 MIPS x The Auricle Creative Writing and Visual Art Competition.

Artist’s note: Encompassing metamorphosis, these sculptures repurpose old kitchen utensils to create something new and ‘funky’. The black and white painted pattern connects the figures, symbolising commonalities between humans despite so many differences, represented by the variety of body shapes and vibrant patterns.

All winners can be seen in The Auricle’s July-September Edition.
