Offal paintings.

I visited Smithfield meat market in London for research during my 2nd year of my degree. I went there to collect photos of meat hanging so that I could work from them. I wanted to show that offal, and internal organs can be beautiful and that the beauty comes from within.

I did a series of 4, 4ft x 2.5ft paintings, and 1 large, 6ft x 3ft painting. They are both oil on canvas.

Knitted dissected animals.

This was a little bit of fun during my project on the internal body. I wanted to look at something other than human organs, so I decided to knit a dissected frog and rat.

They are made from wool and mounted in a wooden frame.
