“The interior of the body is a concealed territory – the less we see the more we imagine. I’m interested in how we reveal and conceal the unfamiliar, the unaccustomed, the invisible. A curiosity of the very nature of the human body has always been a potent resource for my work and my choice of medium. My current interests lie in the ways in which the human anatomy has been translated through artistic processes and scientific method – how the experience of living inside a body has been given meaning.” Catherine Truman
