Andrew Severynko’s Metallophagic Gourmand

Cory Doctorow’s nailed the metallophagic quality of this xenomorph-like junk sculpture far better than I can:

I’m quite taken by Ukrainian artist Andrew Severynko’s “Gourmand” junk-sculpture. I think it’s the glass beaker combined with the kitsch souvenir suit-of-armor head, and the overall quality of predation in this thing, as though it spent its nights squirming through fantastic junk shops, eating their best pieces

Man, he’s such a great writer when he’s not just cut-and-pasting tips. Then again, looking at this post, I should talk.

That said, I can somehow easily imagine David Cronenberg making a movie in which this is breach birthed from a shrieking morphine addict’s urethra.

Update: Ross indignantly whinges, “Florian, I beat both you AND Cory Fucking Doctorow!” Except you didn’t post this sculpture. Suck it up, New Scum.
