Veronica Habib | Artist

Veronica Habib is a multidisciplinary artist who fashions her work with themes concerning body image, shame and sexuality. She explores her subject matter through the conduit of clothing and how this in turn, relates to sensory perception. Veronica plays on the reveal and conceal nature of clothing to create performative and interactive garments, challenging her audiences perceptions as they associate their actions with violation, pleasure, destruction and play.

CONTINGENCE

An interactive work exploring themes of voyeurism in relation to the body, realised through audience participation. Clothing acts as a curtain or veil - revealing and concealing the figure. Issues of objectification, body image, shame and sexuality are highlighted in the act of exposing and revealing the flesh.
