Sculptor Uses Her Background In Science To Create Otherworldly Animals Sculptures

The most usual way to merge animals and plants is to make a hamburger. But Ontario-born Ellen Jewett makes sculpture that shows the fusion between flora and fauna. Each piece of sculpture is painstakingly and meticulously made, dinamic and organic, if a little unsettling. The same goes for the components, too: each etched with additional detail, telling an individual story, and merging into the bigger whole of the sculpture. The whole item is wrought with meaning – and signs of the artist, like fingerprints and brushstrokes.
