Unhinged Inspiration

What's your most unhinged source of inspiration?

I'll go first.

Images of microorganisms. 🔬 Yes, you heard that right.

I remember getting my hands on a scientific magazine as a kid and feeling giddy as I cut out these strange and wondrous microscopic images in order to repurpose them as art installments for my model horses. Yes my model horses were very culturally enriched. 😆

Anywaaaaay, imagine my nerdy thrill (as an adult) upon discovering Daria Fedorova, an artist who is cultivating microorganisms for her creative work.

Her website is also an inspiration.

Do click through to view the animations and take a deeper dive into her grotesque, bizarre, and stunning work. I can get absolutely lost scrolling through her work. Now you know what I’ll be up to for the rest of the day.
