Ursulus Victuspedis II by Stephanie Metz
Felted wool – 6.5″ x 7″ x 5.25″

Stephanie create a variety of anotomical studies of Teddy Bears, reverse engineering found bears to created these felted skulls.

The teddy bear is an idea: a docile, cute, friendly invention far removed from the wild animal that inspired it. I create teddy bear anatomical specimens with a pretense of realness to emphasize the artifice of a familiar but unconsidered subject.

Make sure you checkout her site for more of these wonderful sculptures.  If you enjoy these you will also enjoy the Animatus H, D, L.

Scheissdreck by Tilllassmann
Chalk and, well poop.

I love how Tilllassmann’s cartoons, “Chalkies,” interact with the real world around them.  It is great that he can put these anywhere and people in the community get to see new works constantly.  There is also something refreshing about the simplicity of the execution, especially since everything in our modern world has become so complex.

48″H x 96″W – 60,000 quilting pins on prepared wall surface

I really enjoy the fluidity of this installation.  I am also a big fan of using simple objects and repetition to create larger forms and texture.
