Artist and metalsmith Cathy McLure strips away the plush furry coats from motorized stuffed animals and then casts the disassembled plastic limbs in bronze, while living most of the mechanisms exposed. Cathy says, "The underlying plastic object embodies more potential for my imagination than the stuffed object layered with intricate marketing identities. It is these unstuffed plastic oddities that I reinvent in precious metals. "

I like how sculptural they look without their "skins", I'd definitely put that bird on my shelf.
ReplyDeleteI really like the first one. It kind of reminds me of the picture I took of the little dog my sister had. We went on to dissect it and even manage to pull off all the cloth like you did. Thanks. I'm really liking all the artwork in here.
