anthropomorphism

s

i was studying anthropomorphism for my unit 3 art, and was inspired by Mari Lowery's photography! her work is absolutely fantastic and took me to another level when studying the strange connection between people and animals. her work is unique, strange, creepy yet so beautiful. i found myself looking at them for awhile, trying to understand the concept of a man in a bunny suit. it reminded me a bit of 'Where the wild thing are' - directed by Spike Jonze.
check her out here http://www.etsy.com/shop/Frankenkitty, and i hope her works inspires you like it inspired me :)

"Well yeah, and I'm sad, but at the same time I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin' really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I'm feelin' is like a, beautiful sadness. I guess that sounds stupid."
