The astonishing sculptures by Australian sculptor Freya Jobbins are made from plastic dolls that are no longer in use. Arms, legs, torso - all this is assembled anew, but in a completely different order and with an unexpected result. Freya's finished sculptures look strange and eerie to say the least, but unusual anyway.
Freya Jobbins (Freya Jobbins) works from her home studio near Sydney, where she creates human busts and portraits using non-traditional materials - body parts from plastic dolls. Freya explains her choice as an attempt to explore the relationship between the problem of excessive consumption and the culture of processing, as well as finding a second life for familiar objects. She fundamentally does not use new dolls, material for her works is most often brought to her by fans of her work and friends who remember her unusual hobby.
- says Freya Jobbins.
Freya Jobbins' work has been exhibited in various exhibitions throughout Australia, as well as in England, Norway, Germany, Dubai, New York, San Francisco and Tel Aviv. The site Kulturologiya. RF also covered her previous works, just as eerie, but more colorful.

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
