An installation entitled Consequences of a Life Lived by Conor Frizzelle on display at the 2014 National Craft Awards/Student Art Awards exhibition at the RDS Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 earlier today.
The head distension moves almost imperceptibly (see video).
Just so you know.

Judging from the 1st photo it dominates the space. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best work there.
A lot of effort and ingenuity put in, a VERY talented person clearly (must have some excellent social skills and confidence to get all that put together. Not to mention to be able to get the head figured out. Some intelligence there. Reminds me of Hollywood special effects work from the Thing or Naked Lunch.)
I’d have to see it in the flesh though to see how it feel’s, beyond the wow factor of the detail/production.
Great to see so much effort put in though (considering what i’ve seen of some artists in my neck of the woods). That can’t be stressed enough.
The video uploader also has this on their youtube page:

Also it reminds me of an episode of Bottom.
It should be called David Cronenberg’s Bottom.
Sorry, my presence on this comment thread is officially overkill, but the moving part of the head reminded me of Dick Smiths use of air bladders.
