Au stralian artist Aurora Campbell Illu stratio n ABOUT THE ARTIST: Aurora Campbell is a Melbourne-based artist and illustrator. Her work focuses on the female perspective, with recurring themes of gender, sex, class and sociology. She works in various mediums, but is essentially an illustrator. This series is focused on breasts; a really beautiful but loaded body part for most women. The images are all based on selfies taken by the subject, and painted in gouache to reflect the fragility of the artwork and subject; all very personal portraits reflecting a lot of personality.
