A. Bascove is a NYC-based collagist, painter, and printmaker. Born in Philadelphia in 1946, she received her B.A. from the Philadelphia College of Art. In Paris, living by the Seine, she started drawing bridges, an obsession that only intensified on her return to NYC. “From an early age I learned that the world only makes sense to me through art. My love of my City and fascination with science, architecture, and literature has always driven my explorations. I love to share that exhilaration and curiosity through my work.”

I sculpt the body in unnatural poses to explore our psychological realities through our physical bodies. Our emotions are held within our bodies: the way we hold ourselves, whether that is with straight strong postures or hunched-in closed shoulders conveys distinct and specific emotions of a person, essentially a peek into their psyches. Our subconscious minds cause impactful body reactions, most of which are so complex that it's difficult to fully describe in words alone. In my practice, I aim to describe the indescribable; to create a visual clarity around the uncertainties of our mind and body connections.
