The assemblage sculptures of anatomical human head cross-sections by Edwige Massart and Xavier Wynn are a fascinating blend of art and science. These Chicago-based artists use a variety of found objects to create intricate sculptures that represent the complex structures within the human head. Their work is part of an ongoing series titled ‘Heads’, which explores the psychological and relational intricacies of the human mind through a physical medium.
The sculptures are composed of items such as yarn, river rocks, crayon tips, sea shells, shattered car windows, nails, jewelry, crystals, circuit boards, toys, and even sleeping pills, each carefully placed to mimic the appearance of anatomical cross-sections. This unique approach not only challenges the viewers’ perception of materials and their associative meanings but also delves into the surreal, creating a tangible representation of the intangible aspects of human thought and emotion.
