tiny bone collection
Sunday, October 10th, 2010
i am in awe with this etsy shop, PULPmiscellania. these tiny little bone collections are beautiful. i love that the remains of a number of lovely little creatures are collected and with time and care are brought to another level of beauty by creating these unique specimens of curiosity.
these bones are the remains of mice, voles, birds, mink, fish, while some of the bones have an unknown origin and were found in owl pellets. AND, not to worry, no animals were harmed by humans to create these specimens.

alive for now
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010
my heart skipped a beat when i saw this image. this piece is breathtakingly beautiful & sad…and mesmerizing. i can’t imagine the emotion if i were standing next to this sculpture. i fell in love with it even more when reading the description below by sabrina gschwandtner.
“Then there was Keith W. Bentley’s “Cauda Equina,” a small, shaggy sculpture of a horse. I stared at the little pony for a while, trying to pinpoint what made his presence so endearing yet inaccessible. I realized that the pony’s eyes were covered by hair, a veil that denied me the connection I sought. Wall text revealed that the work was based on Victorian-era funeral etiquette, which required widows to wear black for eighteen months. The piece mourns the death of over two hundred and fifty horses slaughtered in processing plants; the hairs from each horse were hand-knotted onto fabric and then fitted over a taxidermy form. The fact that this sculptural animal was created as a stand-in for others’ deaths gave it an otherworldly presence.”
