Anastasia Booth art’s potential as fragmented or flawed erotic substitute. 
Drawing on a lexicon of fetishism and mythology, she employs strategies of mimicry, subversive labour and embodiment to explore how the artist operating as an agent and a sexed subject can destabilise passive constraints, aligning these provocations with contemporary notions of power. Anastasia’s practice is marked but not limited to a particular interest in the procedures of sculpture and performance as ways of manifesting erotic forms sensuous yet abstracted, in order to tease the slippage between expectations of the real and desirous simulation. Booth’s aesthetic and theoretical inquiry into these fields led to the completion of a practice-led PhD at the Queensland University of Technology (2017). Her work has been exhibited nationally, including projects at The Perth 

Institute of Contemporary Arts, Institute of Modern Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, University of Queensland Museum, Griffith University Art Museum, Milani Gallery CARPARK, Screen Space, The Australian Experimental Art Foundation and was artist in residence at Metro Arts and Outer Space. She also designs and delivers workshops, as well as public programs in museums and galleries.
