David Altmejd, "Juices"

There's rarely a dull moment in the work of David Altmejd, who doesn't deconstruct sculpture's figurative tradition so much as send it hurtling into a wormhole of stylistic shifts and effects. He uses a wide range of materials, including plaster, fur, mannequin pieces and mirror shards. The fantastical results—which more recently have included vitrines containing animal-like parts ensnared in webs—seem ready to fly apart at any moment, but miraculously don't.
