ANGELA PALMER: Unravelled

Angela Palmer’s work represents a meeting point between science and art. ‘Unravelled’ traces the journey of an Egyptian mummy child from the The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford to the scanning theatres of the John Radcliffe hospital where the mummy child underwent a series of CT scans. This intriguing journey through its bandages unearthed a delicate body removed of various organs. These scans then became the source material behind Angela Palmer’s quest to compose a portrait of this child. Downloadable PDF catalogue
