Katie MccGwire is an woman who lives and works in London as an artist. Her main medium in her pieces is pigeon feathers. She models them to make them look even prettier than the birds themselves.
The next unusual artist is Luke Jerram, from the UK. He's most famous for his glass microbiology, in which Jerram creates replicas of viruses.
Possibly the most interesting artist I ran across is Cecelia Webber. Though they first look like normal flowers, her art is much more than average. Her medium is humans. Yes, humans. Webber positions and paints human beings to look like large flowers. This would be much more interesting to see as a live sculpture, I'm sure.
The art of Sabi van Hemert reminds me of something you may see in a horror film. He is a dutch artists who creates art out of fusions of children and animals. Van Hemert says, “I create images that evoke associations with people and animals. I imagine the balance between the many conflicting feelings and thoughts that a man can have. Balance between opposites as attractive / repulsive, happy / sad or fear / security. My pictures have something in them that causes you to think what to see and feel that it gives you, and then confirm again denied.” At least you don't have to bear to look his creatures in the eyes, though. Each of them is faceless.
