The works of Christopher Conte enamor me. Something about them makes me smile. Perhaps it's the technical wizardry involved in making ordinary objects come alive or it could be his life story and how he got into art.
Christopher actually studied human anatomy and went on to design and build prosthetic limbs for amputees. He always had a love for science and art and one day his work and hobby collided. Good thing it did too, otherwise we wouldn't have some of the most amazing micro sculptures I've ever seen. My favorite is the Singer insect, made from old Singer sewing machine bits.
