Lucy McRae: long live the new flesh

Lucy McRae is an artist who does fantastic, horrible things with the human body. With her camera, a handful of supplies you could find at the local Rite-Aid (paper, balloons, a box of Q-Tips) and a naked person or two, she can create a small army of beautiful monsters. With almost every one of her pieces, you have the same three-stage reaction, occurring in a fraction of an instant:

1. Oh! How amazing!

2. Oh! Now I see how she did it. It's really just a bunch of thumbtacks/toothpicks/whatever.

3. Oh! How amazing!
