Everything That Creeps Creepy but beautiful (to me anyway) dioramas and sculptures by California artist Elizabeth McGrath. My only gripe is that the pictures of the shadowboxes are a bit too small.

(Flash site, small bit of music when the gallery first loads)

Yikes! I hope your heartburn goes away soon, eth!

Ha! I have this in my "post-some-time-to-mecha" folder, too, LeeJay, and it's funny because I ended up there while surfing art links one day by some totally circuitous route.

They remind me of a combination of retablos, milagros, and reliquaries which I found out about from Cynthia Korzekwa (whom I was introduced to ages ago by iconomy).

Some day when you feel like getting lost in a bunch of good links, check out her retablos page; each image leads to a page with a bunch of themed links at the bottom. It hasn't been updated for a long time, so some are dead, but it's a wonderful way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Here are some of Cynthia's things: 1, 2.

Thanks for those links to Korzekwa's stuff, Taz. I really like them.
