...Metallic scales that resemble fur...A dress made of dripping slime and one of pink bubbles....a nylon bodysuit stuffed with balloons bulging and heaving like so many boils..a man covered in toothpicks who resebles a yeti.....the body reshaped...and redefined....new appenages are added asnd some are taken away as well....somehow both erotic and hysterical...strange and magical....the work of Bart Hess is amazingly transformative...either through hi-tech fabrics...or just some paper and glue... Using these techniques as well as video and animation he redefines the body and gives us pause to think...he also often collaborates with fellow artist Lucy Mcrae to create these amazing creatures....Needless to say I am enamoured!!!!! questions about beauty and gender arise....and sometimes just sheer awe...whatever the reaction ,his work is amazing and beautiful in it's complex simplicity......and am I the only one who finds some of these images erotic?!?!?!

"Future Fur" is an amazing exploration of the combation of the natual world and the high tech.....
