| My Heart is a Strange Cabin (2008) - Eleanor Crook |
Eleanor Crook brings the dead to life. She's a great fit for Barts Pathology Museum: a cathedral of science literally full to the rafters with formaldehyde reliquaries, the organs and bones of the long dead floating in pickled serenity. A sculptor, she works primarily in wax, the human anatomy, both in rude health and various states of distress and dismemberment. By way of an example, her companion throughout the lecture was an incomplete wax sculpture of a disfigured soldier. Half his face a mangled mess, the other handsome, soft and androgynous, one intact eye mournfully staring off into the middle distance.
