new windows for the Chamber of Horrors





If you look carefully at the windows you will see that they are not what they seem. The images used to decorate them have come from X-rays of the human body and the leading on the windows does not follow a conventional format ....
Window no. 2 has a pelvic girdle at the apex and cloned images of the upper torso, including skull and ribs, repeated over the rest of the window. If you click on each image you can see a slightly larger version. These are just 3 windows in a fretted metal chapel which is one of the exhibits in our new museum of modern art

Wow! Very clever. These windows are really something. And like Imogen said, they are a little creepy. Perfect for Halloween.

These windows are utterly fabulous Carol and suitably creepy.

I've always thought that the human body ( the insides ) were too wonderful for words.

But not for pictures ;-)

When you think about how we are designed, and you're lucky enough to see it...well, it's all so fragile and delicate almost like glass.

Almost like a window...ahahhha!

Oooooo! Creepy these are but creatively exciting to look at.

Spines on the first one and are those blood platelets on the third window?
