Evan Penny makes sculptures of human forms out of silicone, pigment, hair and aluminium saying his interest "is to situate the sculptures perceptually between the way we might see each other in real time and space and the way we imagine our equivalent in a photographic representation."[1] Though his creations are lifelike, Penny believes that "the real can't be represented or symbolized."[2]
