100 Makers / 100 Days Inspired by the work of an 18th-century French osteologist, or expert in the study of the structure and function of bones, Ryan Matthew Cohn painstakingly dismantles human and animal skulls and then remounts them in “exploded” form. The pieces are held in a delicate metal armature, which Cohn makes by hand, using skills he first developed as a custom jeweler. The result is equal parts a didactic anatomical model, a piece of decorative art and a work of contemporary sculpture. madmuseum.org/exhibition/nyc-makers ryanmatthewoddities
