nick cave and the soundsuits

These "Soundsuits" by Nick Cave (not of the Bad Seeds) capture my imagination. I clipped out an image years ago of one of Cave's suits made from twigs, honestly thinking it was an Ann Hamilton piece, but his work is much more shamanistic-feeling, where Hamilton--and other artists-who-costume like Rebecca Horn--seem to be referencing more specifically Western and perhaps gender based conventions. I'm always drawn to costumes that become extensions of the human form-- causing the anthropomorphic base to stretch and exaggerate.
