When I look at a clothes hanger a lot of images come to mind, clothes, cupboards, dressing up, but never a horses head!

Let me explain, the amazingly talented artist known as Sayaka Kajita Ganz, came up with the idea of taking old unused products, (everything from hair dryers to ethernet cables), painting them, then assembling them in a complex manner which would create lifelike creatures.

Heres a brief description from the artist:

“Driven by a combination of my passion for fitting odd shapes together and a strange sympathy toward discarded objects, I create organic forms with thrift store plastics.
I was born in Japan and spent my early childhood there. Japanese Shinto beliefs are such that all objects and organisms have spirits, and objects that are discarded before their time weep at night inside the trash bin, or so they teach children at many preschools. This became a vivid image in my mind. I grew up moving to several different countries and the constant need to adjust to a new environment also gave me a strong desire to fit in, and to make people and objects surrounding me fit together to create harmony. ”

Don’t you just love Japan?
