What are you looking at? A posterior view of the epiglottis! What an angel. There is the epiglottis’s leaf like shape with that slightly curved lip at the top. The 2 arms or bones at the top are the sides of the hyoid bone that is situated in t
Epiglottis rising: A view of the back of the throat. The uvula hanging down, tongue in front, tonsils next to the inner checks at the sides, a particularly high rising epiglottis in the back of the throat. the epiglottis opens and closes the larynge
Inside of the right wrist. Look at all those sliding surfaces of the carpal bones. Move your wrist and imagine the dance of those small interesting shapes each moving slightly to accommodate each other and facilitate the movement of your hand. #anato
Designing a new liver quilt with silk and evolon that I painted and monoprinted a few years ago. I was feeling the rhythm of liver rotation and it came out as crescent moons - a radiant celestial liver. The corner pieces are based on the internal str

The scapula, a mobile triangular bone like a butterfly wing lying on a broad hill able to glide and slide in all directions, to move up down sideways, to angle, to stick out or lie flat on the slats of its rib bed. Held in a web of connection, a hove

Found a folder of anatomy art I did in 1994/1995 for advertising. This was for a heart and lungs workshop I co-taught with Sara White when we had a business called Experiential Anatomy teaching Body-Mind Centering classes and workshops in the Boston
Clavicles laid bare. My feeling of my own clavicles is about the elegant turn - not as clunky as this painting. Clavicles often take the brunt of falls, the bone needing to find it’s length again, it’s curve, it’s shaping to our wid
