I do not know much about Ann Mei except for what exists on her deviantART page.
My personal favorites from her collection of digitally manipulated photographs involve strange contraptions of unknown purpose and function.
The impish grin and machinations of this child remind me of myself as a youngster.
On a somewhat related note, if anyone has suggestions for art, photography or sculptures involving crazy contraptions or Rube Goldberg-like machinery, please share!

I LOVE these! Such an imagination to look at things in a completely different way! I have to wonder, what where her parents like. Did they allow this imagination or did they try to change her to fit the norm?
I used to design contraptions like this when I was a kid…with varying degrees of functional success. 🙂
Love this too, if you Google her there is a nice interview with her, she lives in Russia.
