# Glamorous Morbidity Amy Sarkisian's Glitzy, Bejeweled Skulls By Cowbag | Published 2009-01-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glamarous-morbidity-amy-sarkisians-glitzy-skulls References: [cakeheadlovesevil](http://cakeheadlovesevil.wordpress.com/2009/01/04/glam-morbidity/) & [asark](http://www.asark.com) I really like this skull skulptures by Amy Sarkisian, even more so than *the* Hirst skull and I would take these over Damien’s any day. They are really colorful and thereby considerably less morbid than some of the other examples of skulls being used in sculptural pieces. Amy Sarkisian is behind these, and must have the patience of a saint to bejewel all of these skulls. Personally, the pearl ones are the best, especially since they are the same color palette as bone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Colorful Skull Sculptures:** The trend of creating colorful and vibrant skull sculptures offers opportunities for artists to explore the juxtaposition between life and death with a bold and vibrant approach. - **Beaded Art:** The trend of using beads to create intricate designs on various art forms presents an opportunity for artists to showcase their attention to detail and craftsmanship. - **Reimagining Morbid Elements:** The trend of reimagining morbid elements in art allows artists to challenge the conventional notions of beauty and provoke thought and conversation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Sculpture:** The art and sculpture industry can embrace the trend by showcasing colorful skull sculptures in galleries and exhibitions, attracting a new audience with their visually striking and thought-provoking artworks. - **Craft and Design:** The craft and design industry can explore the trend of beaded art, incorporating intricate beadwork into fashion, accessories, and home decor products, offering unique and visually appealing designs to consumers. - **Fashion and Jewelry:** The fashion and jewelry industry can tap into the trend of reimagining morbid elements by creating statement pieces that challenge traditional design aesthetics and appeal to those seeking unique and provocative accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Bug-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring.md) - [High-End Organic Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s-carter-designs.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Handcrafted Flower Crown Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Sculpturally Formed Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-zombie.md)
