SCOTT RADKE 活在自己的噩夢中 玩具設計欣賞

Don』t get spooked — despite their gnarled hands, corpse-colored skin and sunken eyes, Scott Radke』s (@scottradkeart) creations come in peace. 「If you wanna get creepy with it, it』s real easy! Any film or music video [they are] involved in goes straight to the dark side,」 says the 44-year-old sculptor, whose work made a cameo appearance in Tim Burton』s 「Alice in Wonderland.」 Even if Scott prefers to bring his caterpillar people and bodiless, baby-cheeked creatures to life in suburban Cleveland nature preserves, he understands the desire to situate them in more shadowy worlds. After all, many of them were born there: Before discovering yoga and meditation, Scott displaced his anxiety and panic attacks by carving their faces. 「I』ve always been told I was like Eeyore. I』ve had emotions and feelings I wanted to express and there was just no way I could do it with words. It comes out with what I do,」 he says. These days, Scott lives with his daughter, their pet chickens and a lot more serenity — which he wants to pay forward to his soulful-eyed sculptures. 「I』m pretty happy and content inside,」 he says. 「I wish I could write my own stories. I』d put them in something with a positive message.」
