Description

Body of Inquiry is a letterpress printed triptych structure holding a sewn codex within the subject’s torso. It is a book of display and intimacy opening to a large format with tiny details investigating the marvel of our physicality. The panels are composed of early laboratory instruments, absurdly and grandiloquently representing our endeavor to measure and understand the uncertainties of the world. The larger panels lyrically, yet authentically explore atoms, cells and genetic structure. The interior codex unfolds the story of a scientific journey inspired by an anatomical model. Written, illustrated, printed and hand bound by the artist.
