Personal Work

 

Histology: The study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues. Tissue sections are stained and examined under a microscope .

My colleague at Cambridge University, Michelle Spear, Clinical Anatomist (originally a Histologist) provided the original images for these plates. She prepared slides of various human tissues, stained and scanned them for me for this project. I then worked with fantastic ceramic artist Emma Smith to make the plates.

The plates are 20cm diameter bone china cake plates, available in 8 different human tissue designs: Thyroid, Bowel, liver, Bone, Pancreas, Oesophagus, Testicle, Kidney

I created these plates for the ‘Eat your Heart Out’ event at St. Batholomew’s Hospital Pathology Museum, London. They will be on show over the weekend (26th-28th October 2012) and 4 of the designs (Thyroid, Testicle, Oesophagus, LIver) are available to purchase from 3rd December on Street Anatomy.

These are the 8 designs available;

Testicle

Thyroid

Liver

Oesophagus

Bowel

Pancreas

Bone

Kidney
