Minka – Exquisite Monster Art Doll

My Etsy Shop:
www.shainerin.etsy.com


My Website:
shainerin.com


Minka is one of a series of “Exquisite Monsters” inspired by antique wax medical models and specimens representing genetic anomalies, disfigurements and diseases. However, these characters are wholly a product of my own imagination and do not depict specific real-life conditions or persons. They arise out of my fascination with biological abstraction/surrealism as it is expressed in nature and how it is framed by human culture.

OOAK Doll Sculpture. 8 inches tall. Mixed media.

Minka Detail by ~shainerin The suggester says: "All of the work in the shainerin gallery is amazing and original and it was hard to pick just one for a DD suggestion." Completely agree--'original' is putting it mildly--don't miss this artist's creations! ( Suggested by ~RandyHand and Featured by `LabyrinthCreations )
