I can't remember where or how I came across this printmaker artists work but I liked its anatomically grotesque edge which at the same time is extremely beautiful.

Amber Dye (her real name) hails from Seattle, WA, by way of Philadelphia and South
Florida)

She makes her etchings at the
printmaking studio in the Sevshoon arts centre.

Amber completed her BFA in printmaking and drawing from the University of Central Florida in 1996.
The print featured here is from a series of prints that are inspired by medical and anatomical illustrations, several books on medical oddities, and the idea of constructing body parts/objects that are physically impossible. To see more of her extraordinary work go to her album on flickr
