Drawing and sculptural works of Canadian artist, Maskull Lasserre who deftly extracts the most delicate anatomical forms of humans and animals from common objects.

Via his website: “Lasserre’s drawings and sculptures explore the unexpected potential of the everyday and its associated structures of authority, class, and value. Elements of nostalgia, allegory, humor, and the macabre are incorporated into works that induce strangeness in the familiar, and provoke uncertainty in the expected.”
