Prosthetic Makers
Prosthetic makers who also work as artists use their skills to create wearable art pieces that explore body image, disability, and more. Some examples of prosthetic makers who work as artists include:
Sophie de Oliveira Barata: An artist and sculptor who founded The Alternative Limb Project in 2011. Her work combines art, science, and technology to create artificial limbs that are also art pieces.
Tilda Mace: A London-based artist who uses prosthetics and special effects to create post-human transformations. Her work has included reptilian beasts and futuristic nymphs.
John Amanam: A Nigerian artist who makes prosthetic limbs for people of color.
