Ellen Jewett, an incredibly talented sculptor based in Canda, creates unbelievably detailed and delicate-looking clay sculptures of creatures that look like they’d be right at home in our wildest dreams (or nightmares).
Jewett works with a diverse range of materials to achieve the unique look, but the most delicate sections generally involve wire structures covered in various clays. As she explains on her website, “each sculpture is constructed using an additive technique, layered from inside to out by an accumulation of innumerable tiny components.”
Another interesting touch is that she avoids using any toxic materials; “This, unavoidably, excludes most of what is commonly commercially available, and has sent me on a journey of unique material combination and invention.”
