    custom creature taxidermy

    Sarina is a self-proclaimed science nerd who incorporates her past formal art education with her passion for biology and the bizarre. Her childhood preoccupation with cryptozoology and anomalies of nature manifest themselves in her outlandish reveries of fur and flesh and every peculiar artifact she creates. These influences, combined with a slightly dark sense of humor, have carved out an unusual niche for Sarina in the art world. She specializes in creating fictional composite animals and sideshow gaffs for discerning collectors and the many connoisseurs of the curious around the world. We now invite you to peruse the culmination of nearly three decades of the study of art and the natural sciences in her eccentric works.

    M.U.M. Museum of Menstruation

    More interesting/amusing than you would think.
    Far better than the Cramp Museum.

    MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2007 Wilhelm Reich's Archives to be released...

    "During Reich’s incarceration, his Archives remained where he had stored them in the Orgone Energy Observatory: in a photographic darkroom located on the first floor; and in a large closet in his study and library on the second floor. Reich charged that

    “...nothing whatsoever must be changed in any of these documents and that they should be put away and stored for 50 years to secure their safety from destruction and falsification by anyone interested in the falsification and destruction of historical truth.”
    Today, the Trust manages the “Archives of the Orgone Institute” (the official name of “The Wilhelm Reich Archives”) which are now located in the Rare Books and Special Collections at the Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine at Harvard University, one of of the world’s premier medical libraries. Reich’s Archives are kept in a temperature-controlled environment and comprise well over 200 archive boxes of materials. Each box measures 15” x 12” x 4”.

    Wilhelm Reich passed away on November 3, 1957 at the age of sixty in the Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary in Pennsylvania. November 3, 2007--the 50th anniversary of his death--falls on a Saturday, when the Countway's Center for the History of Medicine is closed. Therefore Monday, November 5, 2007 will mark the first day of access to "The Archives of the Orgone Institute."

    ESP :: Eastern State Penitentiary Website

    "The facility was operated under the Pennsylvania System from 1829 to 1913. This system, used by the Quakers, was designed to force the incorrigibles sent there to look inside themselves and find God. In reality, the system which placed inmates in complete solitude, drove many a sane man to madness."
    "Prisoners at Eastern State had a toilet, table, bunk and Bible in their cells, in which they were locked all but one hour a day. When the prisoners did leave their cells, a black hood would be placed over their head so they could not see any other prisoners as they were guided through the halls of the prison. Interaction and any form of communication between inmates was forbidden.
    Inmates lived a life in mundane solitude and would only get a glimpse of sunlight, known as "The Eye of God" which came through a slit in the prison ceiling."
