ARTISTS STATEMENT

As a medical student, I spend my days analysing bodies' biochemical, histological and pathological characteristics, dissecting cadavers to get a better idea of anatomy, and reading, reading. Sound dispassionate? Well, it can be. And yet, I still love bodies - my own, and other people's. Bodies are collections of cells, to be sure, but they are also our homes; sources of great pleasure as well as pain. In "Shooting Myself", I am reminded of the playful side of physical nature. Without that knowledge, I would become not only a crap doctor, but a crap person as well!
