ANATOMICAL
Over the years I have had many opportunities to follow my interest in anatomy through various commissions, film projects and book publications. Here are 10 varied examples of anatomical presentations of muscles, bones, organs etc which have been made for a variety of purposes.
At the same time the anatomical models that I was working on gave rise to creative ideas that belonged in an ‘Art’ context. My creative practices have always run alongside my work in other media and some of the following works were exhibited in a gallery environment and include some from my ‘Construction Site’ series.
