Wonder Cabinet - Amy Walsh

Specimen 10. Common Hare/Narcomedusae on Fossils of Indiana book

Specimen 3. Globigerina/Merganser on Aspects of the Earth

 

Specimen 6. Barn Mouse/Frog/Sea Flora on Geology and Birds of Indiana book 

I love Amy Walsh's silkscreen prints of fantastical chimeras. Any evocation of medieval bestiaries mixed with natural history and old books is fine by me. I only regret they don't come in pet form. I want to snuggle up with a bunny polyp on the couch (or in a large saltwater tank depending on the physiology at play). Aren't they lovely?

The Master of Grasses

The Master of grasses, originally uploaded by Boris Indrikov.

Boris Indrikov's work is exquisite. I love the sinuous complexity, the slightly tarnished atmosphere, the velvety textural nuance—sigh. After reading this article about the story behind his bicycle series I am pretty sure the man is freaking genius. See more of his work via his flickr stream and website.
