mnartists: Anastasia Ward
December 01, 2006
Interactive toy sculpture artist Anastasia Ward is the subject of this new "Minnesota Stories presents: mnartists" video. I can't help but think of her art as "toy mashups." She combines parts of stuffed animals with the electronic toy guts to create something new: Magical, creepy, lifelike creatures, perhaps imbued with an emotional history.
RELATED EVENT:

Chuck that vid is sooo beautiful. The sculpture grad in me is amazed and inspired. Awwww I love those animatronic stuffed frankenstein monsters. So cute and cuddly! Hehe
Your editing and camera work is becoming very mature. The angles and lighting are wonderful. Your unique individual "voice" is really apparent. :)
