Rune Olsen's twisting sculptures

I'm pretty taken with the sculptural work of Rune Olsen, which revels in a kind of twisting, arching form that lodges somewhere between titillating and disgusting. Link (via JWZ)

A sculptural representation of "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife". Exquisite, but not original.

Originality is vastly overrated.
Unfortunately, so are seafood fetishes.

Obscurica got it in one. Yay, Hokusai.

Here's the original.

I met a lovely young lady at a Burn event recently who, upon my introducing myself as Skwid, immediately began removing her pants. This being a somewhat more enthusiastic response than usual, I was surprised, but she just wanted to show me the large and impressively detailed tattoo of "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife" she had on her hip.

Recognizing the source material earned me bonus points!

Obscurica, tropes are fair game.
