Collaborative Projects Sculpture/Installation (in progress)

Pantirer, though trained as a painter has worked in sculpture and theatrical production increasingly in recent years and collaborations with a fashion designer have led her to work on a project about female containment – exploring corsets. Her sculptures have developed a narrative edge, exploring issues of femininity in the context of contemporary life, addressing issues of support and seduction, Pantirer plans to create a collaborative installation, which will depict a variety of functions, alluded to by foundation garments
