With her<br /> degree in Special Effects Prosthetics for film and television from<br /> London Arts University and 8 years of work for prosthetic providers<br /> creating realistic limbs, de Oliveira Barata has now established her own<br /> studio working as a specialist consultant alongside prosthetists to<br /> create alternative prosthetic effects with direct input from clients.<br /> She also collaborates with other artists – designers, laser-cutters,<br /> metal, plastic, and wood workers – in order to maximize the potential<br /> for a unique prosthetic. In addition to her “surreal” and “unreal”<br /> prosthetic designs, she is also highly skilled in crafting realistic<br /> looking limbs.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frida-kahlos-wardrobe#post-1489762 Sun, 10 May 2015 12:02:20 +0000 Olivegreen 1489762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a link to more modern art prosthetics. </p> <p><a href="http://beautifuldecay.com/2013/11/18/prosthetic-limbs-art-sophie-de-oliveira-baratas-alternative-limb-project/" rel="nofollow">http://beautifuldecay.com/2013.....b-project/</a></p> <p>I love the idea, and Frieda personified it.

I found it incredibly moving to see how she integrated her prosthetics and medical corsetry into her style. Looking at her art it's easy to forget that she lived most of her life in pain.&nbsp; </p> <p>Here are a few more pics:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/costume-and-culture/gallery/2015/may/05/what-frida-kahlo-wore-artists-wardrobe-locked-up-for-50-years"><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/costume-and-culture/gallery/2015/may/05/what-frida-kahlo-wor" rel="nofollow">http://www.theguardian.com/art.....-kahlo-wor</a>...</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frida-kahlos-wardrobe#post-1489735 Sun, 10 May 2015 10:26:40 +0000 Staysfit 1489735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fitting post for today.
