Anatomic Relationships, 1995-2004
The Anatomic Relationships (Wave 4) are multi-paneled interactive paintings. Upon opening of the painting’s doors, each center panel depicts a specific isolated, dissected human body part from a medical book in painstaking detail and in an oversized fashion. The words in the paintings create a dialogue between the individual panels as well as between the panels and the viewer. Literally speaking, the subcutaneous parts are out in the open, but in a deeper sense its cultural and social taboos, like death and sexuality, are being uncovered.
