Anatomical Cross-Sections of Human Heads Reveal a Menagerie of Found Objects

Anatomical Cross-Sections of Human Heads Reveal a Menagerie of Found Objects
// Colossal

Chicago-based artist duo Edwige Massart and Xavier Wynn (previously) sculpt cross-sections of human heads that are organized into compartments of tiny objects. The series began several years ago as an intersection of sorts involving Massart's personal collection of found objects that she began at the age of four, and Wynn's childhood discovery of "split body" models at Chicago's Field Museum that inspired a lingering fascination with human anatomy. Each sculpture is given only a number (ie. Head 14) leaving the viewer to examine the compartments of objects and draw their own parallels and conclusions. You can see more recent work from the Heads series on their website. (via Colossal Submissions)
