The Inside-out Teddy Bear

Kent Rogowski’s unraveled and reraveled Bears are regular teddy bears taken apart, turned inside-out, and stitched back together. While this may be the stuff and stuffing that childhood nightmares are made of, the inverted critters are pretty endearing. Metaphor? Message? Cry for help? No matter what you take from it, inside-out teddy bears just look pretty cool.
