Leather, silk thread and stuffing, poppies, lavender, fennel, roses, black pepper, aniseed, cinnamon, allspice and clovesGuys hospital / The herb garret / Operating theatre>This work exists as a triangle of metaphors to be considered objectively by the viewer.Each measured mark has a symbolic gesture and sits in a tension of unison.The hand crafted tender stitch line draws each ventricle bringing life within the tanned skin. The physical shape and form is held by the healing apothecary scents. The obsessive stitched line pierces and punctures wounding the tanned skin. The cocooned herbs dying, panicked and smothered in their flesh cell.
