click to enlarge images. lyndie dourthe and her charming creations.
i actually had these images forever and have been wanting to put them up here... but i had lost track of where i'd found them or who the artist was. and finally, serentipitously, audrey would find it just as lovely and solve the mystery for me. :)
kind of like a very pretty, precious, adorable taxidermy art.
unfortunately, if you missed it, there are no dvd releases for this feature. :(
+ i first stumbled upon matthew barney at the guggenheim 5 years ago, after someone had randomly recommended me to go see the show "since i was an industrial designer" (i realized what he'd meant after seeing floors and floors filled with sculptural model-making like elements - still odd, though thankful).
you know something or someone is genius when it wasn't even your thing to begin with and they still leave you awestruck and amazed. he had completely covered the whole museum with an odd world of his bizarre, odd, eery and sterile stories. just the sheer amount of work, the ideas, a complete world he'd created blew me away to be in the presence of it all.
