His work really inspired me a lot, ten pictures have ten inspirations. 

He explore different material like foam, shards of wood, balloons, paper clip and everyting we can use in the daily life to reshaping human profile.

 Whether it’s creating a clothing concept or being used as creative photography material, it’s a must have Inspiration.

The human body is made of a paper Shell, the geometry is very specific. Gauze with air bubble feeling, it is another different creative texture

Bart Hess was dedicated to exploring the effects of different exotic materials with body, the effect of two things coming together.

Hess’s body works use a variety of different materials to reshape humans

“Echo is the working title of an ongoing material research into creation of shape by repetition. The base of the project is a physical material which Hess alters into sculptural timelapses in his digital world. The project is named after a common software filter which uses the history of movement to visualize its journey through time.

In his artwork Digital Artifacts, models are suspended from cables and slowly lowered into a pool of melted wax, which is then lifted and solidified to form a sculptural costume.

The hardened shells retain a rough humanoid shape, a pastel white color, and a coral shape reminiscent of aliens.

The models in Digital Artifacts are strapped into White Bikini straps and slowly dip their toes into a pool of melted wax until they are submerged out in the water. The whole process seems bizarre and even torturous, but for Bart Hess, it was just the birth of another of his “living” sculptures

Lucy McRae is a science-fiction artist, director and self-proclaimed “body architect” who explores human adaptation and the frontiers of the body, emphasizing the connection between technology and imagination.

Most of her works are fantastic, grotesque, unexpected or surprising, and can take the audience out of their comfort zone and experience the visual experience of “Lucy” .

Blush Dress is a Dress that shines by sensing the emotions of its owner. The discovery team also won a design award from Time magazine for “Blush Dress” .

At the meantime, she collaborated with biologist and Harvard Professor Sharef Mansy to develop a perfume capsule called “swalable parapfum” in Muncie. The user swallows the capsule like a drug, and soon the body releases a scent as if it had been perfumed.

However, it doesn’t matter to Lucy McRae what perfume smells like. What matters is that she has redefined people’s skin and, in a way, transformed the human body with technology.

Her recent work Prep Your Body FOR SPACE, was inspired by meeting a NASA economist on a bus.

“I’m keen on exploring how the body could start changing in order to withstand long periods of time and space. That’s what this project is looking at – it’s prepping the body to go to space.”

From so many creative works, I have a feeling that these two artists is not for the creation of works to create, more is like a kind of inner voice roar and outburst, transfer this emotion into the works.

“We work from instinct with no idea of the outcome.we don’t have to explain or give reason to a concept we want to create.”
