Gasp! This is the magical work Sydney based artist Kyle Montgomery. All of these breathtaking sculptures are from an ongoing series, titled “Crystal Mary”. Here’s the poetic description of why he does what he does:

[His work] is an intentional collision of two beliefs in physical form, combining religion and spirituality to create the ultimate icon. These sculptural works delve into ideas of re-birth and the after- life, principals and messages he portrayed in earlier collage work before transforming them into the three-dimensional.

So beautiful. I found Kyle’s work through Paradigm Gallery‘s current show {that’s where I came across Riikka’s roller derby bruises}… ie., it’s a really good show!
