The animal-human sculptural hybrids of Italian artist Alessandro Gallo – stoneware and mixed media figures caricaturing the diversity of human experience – each one between 30cm and 60cm tall.
We’re all in there somewhere.
You think you’re the hare but you’re probably the thorny devil.
Tiny, biologically accurate sculptures of birds and animals by Hungarian biologist and miniaturist Fanni Sandor.

But he would not quit.
The mukimono of Japanese artist Takehiro Kishimoto – intricate geometric patterns and elaborate leaves and blooms incised into fruit and vegetables.
An anamorphic sculpture by Austrian artist Thomas Medicus featuring a cube composed of 144 glass strips painted in acrylic with four scenes which reveal themselves with each 90 turn.
The piece was inspired by a 1974 paper by American philosopher Thomas Nagel entitled ‘What Is It Like To Be A Bat?’
