I only select objects that have been used and discarded. My goal is for each object to transcend its origin by being integrated into an animal/ organic forms that are alive and in motion. This process of reclamation and regeneration is liberating to me as an artist.Mehr Getier gibts auf ihrer Webseite unter Motion, Displays und Scrap Metal.
This is an idea that we have been thinking about for a while. A few people encouraged me to do it but I never quite got around to it. Then I got a spare afternoon one day and decoded to have a good go at making it work. It worked…. perhaps a little too well! Definitely our most 'meaty' design."(via Dangerous Minds)

Here's a small bowl I made from interlocking layers of birch plywood. I designed it using Poser, Blender and Autodesk 123D Make, then used a laser cutter to precisely cut all 40 of the pieces. The bowl stands at about a foot in height and, despite being very light, is sturdy and extremely well balanced so it won't topple over when filled.(via Make)
"A ... soon-to-be doctor, Stephen, recently sent in this image of an anatomical heart made up entirely of the words from his dissertation. He put tons of effort into studying a particular cardiac arrhythmia, noted below the heart, and instead of hanging fancy diplomas on the wall, he chose to immortalize his time and efforts into a piece of anatomical art ..."
"Mädchen bekamen ihre erste Schnürbrust in der Regel im Alter von 12 bis 14 Jahren, gelegentlich wurden aber auch schon Kleinkinder in schnurgesteifte Mieder gesteckt. Eine daraus resultierende allfällige Verformung des Skeletts wurde nicht nur in Kauf genommen, sondern war sogar erwünscht. Die Kritik wurde im Verlauf des 19. Jahrhundert immer lauter, verstärkt durch die Forderungen der Frauenbewegung. Erste Versuche einer „reformierten“, das heißt korsettlosen Frauenkleidung gab es Mitte des 19.

"I'm making these edible bleeding hearts available for people to send to their Valentine this year: They are scarily realistic, but delicious with a red velvet sponge, cream cheese frosting and blackcurrant & cherry 'blood'. Priced at £7 they come in a cute perspex box tied with a pink or red ribbon and a note if you want to add one ..." Valentine's Bleeding Hearts(via Lost At E Minor)
"The institute is located inside the hospital Santa Maria which has a MD training program. In the context of my daily work, I have the occasion to go through the corridor where the anatomy classes of 1st year students are taking place. I have been fascinated by the representation and models they use for these classes. They are quite detailed and interesting, but as the same time they have some kind of old-fashion charm and a real aesthetic that I wanted to capture. So for the last 18 months, while going where I keep my laboratory mice (which happens to be in the same corridor), I took my camera and made some shots on the way. Not moving anything, letting chance placing the organs, the chairs and tables."(via Street Anatomy)
