soft sculpture
Stuffed fabric artwork
Soft sculpture is three-dimensional art made from pliable materials—fabric, foam, vinyl, or other flexible substances—rather than traditional rigid materials like stone, metal, or wood.
The form emerged in the 1960s with artists like Claes Oldenburg, whose oversized stuffed objects challenged expectations about sculpture: Her soft sculpture of a hamburger filled half the gallery.
