Artist John Paul Azzopardi is a man who wants to challenge viewers on art and the mediums that can be used to create it. Using bone, Azzopardi has created twisted and chilling pieces that are as macabre as they are fascinating, looking like something that would be seen in an episode of “Hannibal“.

For his “Bone” series, Azzopardi writes:

Bone – is a collection of fossilized structures that explores the gentle temperance located within the constitution of sound, i.e. its very silent centre. The architectural relationship that oscillates back and forth from the simple and the complex to the living and the dead connects space and form, creating existential structures of interwoven silence. The death embedded in its form, its life. This might confront the spectator with a spectre, the simulacrum of itself that stalls, halts being something in its tracks.
