Female Torsos Made Out of Unusual Materials

Colombian born artist Federico Uribe must have a great deal of patience, in addition to his obvious load of talent. He began his career as a painter and then evolved to using found objects and industrial items in his work, creating assemblages that simply demand your rapt attention.

His Torso Series consists of sculptural torsos made from such items as fruit, pencils, fur, computer keys, nails, coins, clothespins, rubber lips and more.
