Here are two articles on Tim Noble and Sue Webster, a pair of British artists who I'm guessing are also a couple. They were a new one on me when I read the piece in Weird Fiction Review. It's kind of an intense thing they've got going, isn't it? In a way the piles of stuff that casts a completely different shadow idea seems like something that should have been thought of long ago. A Victorian or WWI-era novelty. The details are very contemporary, though. The rubbish and dead animals they use in their work probably bother quite a few viewers, but the images aren't easy to shake.
Bet they have to use thick rubber gloves.

Wow. That's pretty amazing work you found this time. Of the pieces I had a closer look at it was 'White Trash' I found as a most profound comment about our culture. I couldn't help but remember the stories I read about Smokey Mt. in the Philippines.
The brief article on Smokey Mountain is mind-boggling. Who knew that this burning pile of trash would become a seemingly permanent part of the Philippines' ecosystem?
And oh yeah, it is amazing work. One of the articles has a link to the artists' website.
