Carbonara uses nail varnish on paper, bringing a material associated with bodily adornment into image-making. Its change of setting encourages attention to colour and surface beyond the material’s everyday function. The work belongs to the visual practice of Machine Woman, also known as Anastasia Vtorova, whose activity spans art and experimental electronic music.
