Featuring meticulously-sculpted, life-size, skeletons, each piece – a real animal – is painstakingly measured, drawn, sculpted from steel, wire, and foam, and covered entirely in hand-knitting; a fine-art softening of the subject beneath.
An exhibition 17-years in the making, from the towering giraffe stretching 4.4 metres in height, head raised to the windowed ceiling to the army of 50 plus delicately rendered frogs, is astounding.
Anatomy Lessons describes humanities’ dark connection to the lives of animals and the living planet, expanding on the wider themes of human culpability, asking us to care.
This exhibition will run in conjunction with Artexpress 2025.
Grafton Regional Gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday and closed on Monday’s. Public Holidays may differ.
