Japanese Fisherman-Turned-Artist Creates Skeletal Artworks from Dead Animals
Believe it or not, the Japanese use fish for something else than sushi. Take Iori Tomita, a former fisherman who now creates creepy works of art from various dead marine specimens. 28-year-old Iori Tomita uses scientific techniques of preserving and dyeing to transform dead fish into brightly-colored glowing pieces of art. The former fisherman applies over 10 different chemicals to each specimen, which break down the muscle proteins, making it transparent and revealing the skeleton. He then uses red and blue dyes to highlight the hard and soft cartilage. It sounds easy enough, but it's really a complex eight-stage process which takes Tomita three months to a year to complete, depending on the size of the animals he's trying to turn into morbid works of art.
