# Everyday Object Skeleton Art One Artist Transformed Random Objects into Beautiful Wooden Designs By Janelle Savel | Published 2014-01-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpted-spines-wooden-art References: [maskulllasserre](http://maskulllasserre.com) & [stumbleupon](http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2xUzsm/:1O:iRYPAr.e/www.visualnews.com/2013/01/30/skeletal-creatures-carved-from-everyday-objects/) Montreal-based artist Maskull Lasserre has turned everyday objects into intricate works of art. Simple things like doors, hangers and handles have been sculpted into vertebrates and [skeletons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskyn). His concept is stunning in the delicate precision and striking similarities to human anatomy. Ranging from hangers sculpted into bones, door corners as dead reptiles and even an ax handle that looks to be the spine of a reptile, the designs truly make us wonder how he does it. Lasserre is taking the phrase [recycled art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures) quite literally and giving inanimate objects a second chance. You can see his upcoming exhibitions at [Gallery Pierre-Francois](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nick-valentijn) Ouellette Art Contemporian, in Montreal until the end of January. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Object-to-art Transformation:** Transforming everyday objects into intricate works of art. - **Anatomy-inspired Design:** Creating art that resembles the human anatomy. - **Recycled Art:** Giving inanimate objects a second chance through art. ### Where This Applies - **Art:** Opportunities to create unique, eye-catching art pieces using everyday objects. - **Interior Design:** Incorporating these unique object-to-art transformations could add a new level of depth to interior design. - **Sustainability:** Using recycled materials to create art adds to the potential of creating sustainable art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Bone Powder-Made Home Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/souhaib-ghanmi.md) - [Repurposed Wooden Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darren-appiagyei.md) - [Transformation-Inspired Design Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-design-objects.md) - [Geometric Wooden Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-geddis.md) - [Abandoned Bikes-Turned Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/objects-from-frames.md) - [Wooden Identity Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hughmanity.md) - [Upcycled Object Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-and-daniel-arsham.md) - [Artful Wooden Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knowledge-of-all-dark-things.md)
