Idiots: industrial evolution

My friend Maïssa sent me the link to the artist duo known as Idiots. I'm totally at a loss for words...this kind of work invokes so many emotions all at once. The 'Idiots' have taken the taxidermy arts to a whole new level! They incorporate ceramics, handblown glass, forged metal, decorative embroidery, intricate bead work, ect...incredible! Just go check out their amazing site! Also, I've added a Wunderkammer section on the left, with links to art inspired by Cabinets of Curiosity and Wunderkammer!

On the actual site, the taxidermy sleeping lioness whose back half is dissolving into melting metal is just amazing. I absolutely love it.
