New Jersey-based artist Gregory Halili[‘s] latest series of work involves a fusion of the human form with the natural world in these amazing bas-relief shell skulls.

Halili carves and then paints with oil on raw, gold-lip and black-lip mother of pearl found in shells collected from the Philippines.

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
