Ectopic Anatomy

These mixed media sculptures and collages have elements easily identifiable as parts of human anatomy, but this familiarity is undermined by altering the scale, relationship, and arrangement of those elements. Like in the holistic viewpoint of the human body, the relationships and connections between the organs and miniature systems begin to take on more importance than the organs themselves. As the document of a human search for balance and understanding, there was no preconceived plan for exactly what the finished product will look like. Instead the collages grow organically, replicating in a similar way to the cells that compose our bodies.
