Anatomy Lessons
Striking and ethereal, Anatomy Lessons features life-sized skeletons meticulously sculpted and hand-knitted to haunting effect, inviting us to reflect on our place within the fragile web of life and death.
From a towering 4.4-metre giraffe to an assembly of 50 intricately rendered frogs, each skeleton has been crafted from steel, wire, and foam, then entirely enveloped in hand-knitting – a fine-art softening of the anatomy beneath.
Seventeen years in the making, the exhibition traces a process that is as meditative as it is exacting: beginning with studies of bones in museum collections, through to sculpting and articulating forms, and culminating in thousands of hours of knitting.
Created by artist Michele Beevors, Anatomy Lessons is a quiet, tactile protest – a gentle but powerful call to recognise the violence humans inflict upon other animals, and to reconsider the patterns of behaviour that sustain it.
