WORKS OF ART

 

 

Being an artist who weaves clay into fragile complex ceramic pieces I found the following implants used in osseointegration stunning works of art. I could not help but have my camera - a constant companion - snapping the following images as soon as I laid eyes on them sitting gracefully in a glass cabinet with mirrored back showing off their full beauty and technical genious.

 

 



 

Bone in itself is a complex network of beauty, strength and durability. It is fitting such over looked and under appreciated material fuse with the amazing network of crystal/snowflake like structures made by human hands. Structures bourne from the imaginations of some pioneering orthopaedic surgeons, engineers and technicians working together to combine art with a surgical procedure such as osseointegration. Ground breaking and exciting work that has brought new and possitive chapters to many amputees lives in the form of previously undrempt of mobility options that most abled bodied people take for granted.
