Stephen J Shanabrook

works of Body Parts
Links with my casting projects. Stephan casts body parts with plaster.
'man pointing to a broken Tooth' is a plaster cast of a severed hand.

Shanabrook also uses this method in his 1999 work in which he uses goat foetuses and self portraits to assemble a finished piece.

works of Paper Surgery
I really like this idea as i have never seen this kind of composition before.
In recent times the want and need to become aesthetically 'perfect' as been turned on its head by Shanabrook as the piece turns peoples photographs into a disfigured form.
