Strange, almost creepy nylon sculptures are created by a Dutch artist. With the help of needles and pins, she forms distorted silhouettes, as if covered with wrinkles. Thus, the artist tries to reflect her vision of the cyclical nature of life: a person comes into this world with folds and leaves it with them.
Dutch artist Rosa Verloop creates unusual anthropomorphic sculptures. They resemble human silhouettes, covered with folds and wrinkles. And it is not always possible to make out whether it is a newborn, or already a decrepit old man. The material for the sculptures is completely unexpected: nylon stockings. Rosa Verloop literally uses mountains of stockings and tights. He drapes them with needles and pins, giving the material a meaningful shape.
As the artist herself notes, the distortion of the human body is a completely natural process. People are born with folds and die in the same way. The faces of some figures seem to be covered with deep wrinkles, reflecting the wisdom of the past.
Australian sculptor Freya Jobbins also shocks the audience with his works. She creates sculptures from parts of plastic old dolls. Arms, legs, torso - all this is assembled anew, but in a completely different order and with an unexpected result.

Better to hear it a hundred times. Eerie sculptures by Laurent Le Deunff
I warn you right away: it is not recommended to get acquainted with the work of the French artist Laurent Le Deunff for too impressionable and squeamish people, as well as those who are madly in love with animals, and is ready to tear to pieces everyone who shouts at a cheeky yard cat or swings at a heart-rending barking vagrant doggie. No, he does not dissect the carcasses of the unfortunate four-legged - in his sculptures he reproduces a variety of animals, but he does it in a rather exotic format

Eerie sculptures of hybrid animals. Metamorphosed Animals Project by Enrique Gomez De Molina
Inventing and reproducing new worlds that are inside ours, or even exist outside of time and space, artists and sculptors often inhabit them with outlandish creatures, the likes of which can only be seen in delirium, feverish dreams, or under the influence of potent "substances". Where they come from and where they go is unknown, but in modern art strange animals can be seen in the works of Jessica Jocelyn, Steve Bishop or today's hero of the publication, sc
Who are blue stockings, or How girls of difficult behavior defended their right to intellectual development
Nowadays, the nickname "blue stocking" is most often awarded to old maids who sacrificed their personal lives for the sake of a career or science, although this interpretation of this phrase has nothing to do with its original meaning. Phraseologism appeared in England in the 18th century, and those who were called "blue stockings" not only were not upset about this, but had every reason to be proud of their title. In addition, men were the first to receive such nicknames
