  • Aromatic Objects

    As part of (De)Constructed Masculinities at the V&A, Tasha Marks (AVM Curiosities) and Brian J Morrison collaborated to create an aromatic installation that probed the olfactory nature of masculinity and attraction. Cast using the contours of Morrison’s body, the scented sculptures were infused with aromas created by Marks. One with a “masculine’ scent, and the other with a “feminine” fragrance, taking this year’s top selling perfumes as their start point.
