Internal landscapes

The archivist has been busy. I have been working on a series of prints, drawings and paintings, to document the internal landscapes of loves and resentments, shames and joys. I began in 2019 trying to work out how I would display the findings.

I felt like a resurrectionist, exhuming and documenting the sort of stuff no-one wants to see. In the manner of Hunter, with his Atlas of the Gravid Uterus. The whole expose crosses a line (or three).

Should I create an atlas, an archive, an annotated bibliography? A cabinet of curiosities?

I started drawing specimen jars. Somewhere to store things, in the interim.
