2461 - Fuzzy people

Perhaps you've seen the following picture floating around the net...


I would see this along with the comments that would come with it and wonder where the picture came from. Did you? Well wonder no more. Here's a 3 minute video explaining the whole thing.



"It's about having a good time and doing things that can also have very serious ideas behind it."
-- Anna Maltz


San Francisco-based artist Anna Maltz uses humor and sculptural textiles to explore identity and societal taboos. For her series One Size Fits All, she takes conventional portraits of families (of various configurations) wearing her "naked" suits -- full body, pink-colored mohair outfits with anatomically correct appendages. Spark tags along with Maltz on a photo shoot.
Born in London, England, Anna Maltz earned a B.F.A. from the Middlesex University in London and an M.F.A. from California College of Arts in 2004. Her work has been exhibited internationally.

Art takes strange forms nowadays. Give me a Chardin or Calder.
