Stranger Visions is a project by Heather Dewey-Hagborg where she uses DNA to create portrait sculptures
of people she has never met. To create them she collected DNA from cigarette butts, hair,
gum, and other sample and then used software to translate the DNA into computer models
and made 3D printed sculptures. Here she is with her own DNA 3D printed sculpture.
Italian designer Umberto Dattola made this giant furniture collection called Envi. He
used old chairs, armchairs, dressers, and beds and added extremely long legs to them
so they overlooked everything. Turning antique furniture into surreal pieces of art that
seem to tell a story of their own.
Etsy artist Ellen Jewett makes animal sculptures that combine both realism and fantasy. She
went to school for Biological Anthropology and Fine Art and combined her passions into

Art teacher Michael Kohl paints custom shoes. After trying it out for fun he had a lot of
interest from others for his one of a kind creations. He now gives his customer the ability
to pick and choose exactly how the shoes look. All that you have to do is send your shoes
to him with a request of colors and theme and he will paint them for you and have them
back within a couple of weeks. Kohl was brought to me by one of his students that thought
he deserved to be in BiDiPi and I agreed. Check out his website for more!
