The Edge: Return Of The Dead... In Artform

Posted in The Edge, Art on Monday, September 19, 2011 | 6:48PM

Thanks to Dutch design firm Studio Wieki Somers it is now possible to turn human ashes into works of art. Yeah, I said it, human ashes. Somers uses a 3D printer turning human ashes into household items. Sounds scary at first, but by doing this you can ensure that your Aunt Ethyl's remains will never be thrown away. Check photos of Somers' past creations.
