Dismembered Bodies And Other Surrealist Works From Margot Knight

The photography of Margot Knight has a dark yet funny theme throughout; in fact, many people might consider her imagery to be quite disturbing.

The most prominent pieces, in this instance, are also those for which she is best known. Taking Care is a series of pieces featuring dismembered bodies for which inspiration was taken from the paintings of French surrealist artist, Fernand Leger. While this will send shivers down your spine, it’s the giant worm curled up asleep on the bed that really freaks me out.

All in all, it’s an awesome collection of pieces that are well worth checking out.
