Louise Bourgeois 
Louise was a French-American artist. She made large scale sculptures and was a painter and print maker. She died at the age of 98 from a heart attack.

 This is called 'Suspension'


 This is 'Maman' (Spider)

 This is 'Arch of Hysteria'

Out of these 3, my person favorite is Maman. It is 30 feet tall, thats massive and also made of bronze, marble and stainless steel. Maman is also known as 'Spider' and holds a lot of value to her. After the death of her mother,
The Spider is an ode to my mother. She was my best friend. Like a spider, my mother was a weaver. My family was in the business of tapestry restoration, and my mother was in charge of the workshop. Like spiders, my mother was very clever. Spiders are friendly presences that eat mosquitoes. We know that mosquitoes spread diseases and are therefore unwanted. So, spiders are helpful and protective, just like my mother.
— Louise Bourgeois[4]



Another, but not as famous work is this:
 The Welcoming Hands, 1996

Chimeras!!

A chimera is a female, fire-breathing monster with a lion's head, goat's body, and serpent's tail (in Greek Mythology). However, the chimera we're talking about now is simply a hybrid. It is a mixture of two embryos mostly animals but human embryos are also a thing.  "Second,  chimeras  can arise when developing fraternal twins share a blood supply. This  happens  when the twins (who have different DNA) share a placenta and cells from their blood mix." The ways it's been depicted are the Greek Mythology monster. Below are photos of what a Chimera can be:

Bert Simmons

Bert Simmons is a Dutch artist who makes lifelike sculptures out of paper. He uses technology (Bender) in order to map out the positions on the person's face using black dots to then print out a mask like paper, that he then uses many to create these life like sculptures. Example below: He uses the pieces created with Bender that are 2D in order to create these 3D sculptures. It can require countless hours of time to cut and put together these pieces, but they're really awesome. It's cool to know that there are other ways to help in making 3D art like this.  Below are some other pieces from his collection: This next photo shows a shortened version of what happens in the program:
