Sandy Skoglund is an American photographer known for creating elaborate images by combining sculpture, photography, and installation art, often taking months to create and build a single set. She has used materials such as bacon, cheese puffs, and cracked egg shells, combined with live models to create her surreal images.
Photographs such as “The Cocktail Party”, “Radioactive Cats”, and “Raining Popcorn” challenge the viewer’s perception by blurring the lines between reality and imagination. Her piece “Radioactive Cats” at the Saint Louis Art Museum is both a commentary on nuclear weapons and the human condition of aging.
