Iranian artists Salman Khoshroo is using unspun wool to make portraits that address masculinity. More from the artist on COLOSSAL:
We live in fragile times, and I feel the need to find new materials and the mindset to reinvent my practice. Wool brings warmth and intimacy to these portraits and plays with provoking the nurture instinct. Making male portraits with this habitually perceived feminine material is part of a personal journey in re-interpreting the masculine condition.
