Myrllen: A Portrait. Works by Catherine Heard
Myrllen: A Portrait. Works by new Visual Arts faculty member Catherine Heard
Public Reception: Thursday, Jan. 9, 5 - 7 pm
SoCA Gallery, Armouries, 37 University
Catherine Heard’s work interrogates the histories of science, medicine and the museum. Simultaneously attractive and repulsive, the works delve into primal anxieties about the body. Since 2015, she has been creating sculptures with internal structures that are revealed using medical CT scanners. In these works, Osirix or Horos medical imaging software translates the scans into 2D and 3D simulations and animated sequences: through this process, the sculptures’ concealed interiors become as critical as the external forms. The current exhibition at Birch Contemporary Gallery features Myrllen: A Portrait (2016) and a new body of work, Micrographia (2018).
