inside out

Aren't Kent Rogowski's bears interesting? Here's the description from his website:

Bears, is a series of portraits of the most unusual sort: ordinary teddy bears that have been turned inside out and restuffed. Each animal's appearance is determined by the necessities of the manufacturing process. Simple patterns and devices never meant to be seen are now prominent physical characteristics, giving each one a distinctly quirky personality: their fasteners become eyes, their seams become scars, and their stuffing creeps out in the most unexpected places. Together these images form a topology of strange yet oddly familiar creatures. They are at once hideous yet cuddly, disturbing yet endearing, absurd yet adorable, while offering a metaphor for us all to consider.

those are so cool. i think they would be really cool in a kid's nursery - a little bit creepy but cool. i wish he did before and after, now that would be even more interesting.

they're neat, but I agree that it's a little creepy...
