Castoo: X-ray casts
November 28, 2012 § Leave a Comment
A genius idea to make the pain of a broken bone a talking point by Castoo;
“A picture is worth 1,000 words. Save your breath and explanations by showing the world what’s going on under that cast. Had a really bad break that you want to show off? Send us the digital file of your x-ray, and we’ll send you back your break in print, ready to be applied directly to your cast.”

Cecile Dachary: Crochet organs
November 26, 2012 § 1 Comment
French artist Cecile Dachary makes the most amazing crocheted pieces of art and includes many influenced by the body and anatomy;
‘I’m interested in the representation of the body with the fabric, it is the close relationship between this material and the human. The fabric is a second skin, a body wrap that keeps the imprint of the body that brought. This makes the living tissue, gives it a sensual materiality. The fabric bodyguard memories, whole or fragmented. This memory is kept multiple, moving, disturbing, violent, sensual or erotic. It is pattern or volume. I trace or pattern according to my emotions or my intuition the more figurative expression to a more simplified version of the original, round, through evocative organic volumes. I do not refer only outside but also inside, inventing my own representation of the body, organs and cells for microscopic bacteria, I fantasized images and gives fantastic. I try to express intimacy, the secret inside.’
DeAngel: Blood Splatter Paintings

At first glance, I thought these dynamic paintings by DeAngel were someone having been dropped form a great height and inevitably splattered. But given they are called ‘emergining’, I presume, they depict a re-birth rather than death.
