Ellen Jewett: "Feather Of Me"

Ellen Jewett is a self taught sculptor that has a background in Biological Anthropology and Fine Arts.  She makes three dimensional sculptures of, what the website describes, as 'grotesque hybrids.'  I can see the association because her work combines animal anatomy with the whimsical combining various animals together to create these fantastic creatures.  I love the texture she creates in her work and the use of negative space.  I also enjoy the quote: "...sculpting has always been about life, biological narratives, emotions, and movement."  

Here are some images a link to the website:
