It's been forever since I did this. I'm pretty sure I've posted this somewhere - maybe in our sister site. Either way, you guys should look at this.

Kirsty Mitchell produces some of the most complicated and amazing photography I've personally seen. I love the intricate detail she goes into to create her pieces. She's most famous for, as far as I can tell, her Wonderland series, but there hasn't been a single piece by her I haven't enjoyed.

Modern Metropolis has done a couple blog posts about her, and I discovered her from their discussion of her series on The White Queen.

I'll try to be better about it. I just saved a few pieces to bring up later.

Cool. I recently saw another wood sculpture that I thought was really cool. At first you're like, "Is the sculpture wrapped up under that clothe? Holy SHIT! The 'clothe' IS wood!"

All magnificent but I really love this set especially. Same idea expressed in so many ways which each feel new and inspired.
