This prankster artist, makes art that is confronting and sometimes uncomfortable to view. His artworks bulldoze the senses (and the stomach), and take the form of mostly sculpture and video. He explores the human body and its limitations with a crude corruption and deformation. Some of his artworks are the visual equivalent of a bloodied bullet wound. Even though I find some of his artworks make me feel rather queasy, this queasiness has a powerful effect that forces you to remember the artwork; and remember that we are so fragile.
