BEYOND MEASURE III
IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
Artist statement: The series ‘Beyond Measure I-III’ was created using original clippings of found text and images from a 1970s anatomy and physiology handbook, and the 1608 edition of ‘Livre de Pourtraiture’ by Jehan Cousin the Younger. It aims to challenge the limiting ‘standardised’ vision of the body presented in anatomy textbooks and manuals, favouring instead a shifting account of lived experience that flirts with the reality of the body’s disruptive illegibility.
