British-born artist Ivan Lovatt has created this new series of portrait busts by layering, twisting & mangling chicken wire.
His work is currently on exhibition at the Jackman gallery in Melbourne, Australia.
The sculptures range from $9,000 to $18,000 a pop. Not bad for twisted chicken wire.
See the exhibition here.
