An Ode To Ernest
I am a HUGE fan of Ernst Haeckel illustrations. He was a German Zoologist who drew scientific illustrations of various forms of life. His most breathtaking images were drawings of sea life. Haeckel captured their essence in such a haunting way, adding a vibrancy to them that is beyond compare. Given that it’s no wonder why I wouldn’t absolutely fall in love with this creation by Timothy Horn, entitled Medusa. Measuring 9 feet wide and made out of cast silicone and fiber optics. Such an impressive interpretation, and a masterful use of his medium to see it in person I would imagine one could only stand in awe.
