Kitchen shots...3 Graces; Charm, Beauty, Creativity plus the beginning of an antomical wax giving birth referencing Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis.

Wax, bones and fetal skeletons...

Finishing up "Charm"

a few more details and she's done! The interior is made of human remains, barb wire and a garbage bag....

Re-assembling Grace #1 beginning detail work

Beginning the wax part of the skeleton adding texture etc- Charm (the name of this Grace)  will become more like an ecorche when finished, reminiscent of death

Grace #1 Charm beheaded to do detail work

Adding hair, pore work eyebrows etc...

Grace #2 : Beauty

Beginnings of Grace  #2 (Beauty). Will have death cradling beauty...you're seeing 2 sides of a face cast which eventually will be fused into one. Death will be a type of Memento mori /Vanitas/Vanite but from the groin up...looking forward to this piece!

Memento Mori revamped by Evan Michelson for Morbid Anatomy shoot

Promo shoot for upcoming Morbid Anatomy. Evan Michelson has done a fab job bringing to life this waxwork!
