Khara Oxier-Mori is an artist recognized for her paintings and sculptures of the body as a dynamic system. Her work explores themes of power, violence, autonomy, epigenetics, mystery, and survival. These themes are combined with various physical, moral, and social restraints or liberations. Khara’s painted works depict dark, ethereal environments shrouded in mystery with life-size fleshy bodies that are represented open, incentivizing the viewer to simultaneously consider internal and external environments. This opens up questions about how outside factors influence the body and where the body ends and begins.
