Nate Hill has a strong stomach and, er, unique artistic vision: he likes to cobble sculptures together out of dead animal parts. While his "New Animals" are the sort of clever, genteel, well-sealed artifacts you might find in a trendy loft belonging to a medical illustration enthusiast, his "ADAM Project" is rawer: it's a life-size human figure made of meat. Lots of fishheads. With chicken head genitalia.
No, not genteel at all. Looks like some of the gallery visitors felt a bit faint. No wonder he calls his website "Nate Hill is Nuts".
Thanks to Tom for this one.
