Seen @

Plastic Surgery by Lucy and Bart {Is it just me or does this kind of look like Whitney Port, minus the face distrotion}

Super cool site where human faces morph... When you first reach the site you are greeted by a face looking back at you but as you move your cursor around, you notice the face morph from male to female or vice versa. Those two faces you see happen to be that of Lucy McRae and Bart Hess. The two artist have collaborated to create what they call "instinctual stalking of fashion, architecture, performance and the body."

"They both share a fascination with genetic manipulation and expressions of beauty. But, although their work touches upon these themes of mutation and manipulation, they insist it is not their intention to communicate this." -As quoted from ayMan

When glancing at their blog {which is where you can view the series}, you notice that in order to create their work, the team uses simple everyday items that you can find, like in Evolution, they uses uniquely sewn panty hose combined with clear balloons of different sizes to illustrate the point. Their focus creates futuristic human shapes, using low–tech prosthetic ways for human enhancement.
