In this episode I speak with artist Beatrice Scaccia about her practice, how she investigates the illusions of beauty and constructions of appearance and the cultural links between feminine splendor and monstrosity in her work, and what inspires her. We also chat about her education and life in Italy, what made her want to come to New York and leave everything behind, and what it was like working for artists like Marilyn Minter and Jeff Koons.
