Graded Unit for HNC art and design
For my graded unit this year i had choosen to do a book in a box about the body. My requirments for the brief where to include 2d and 3d works and of course a book that goes into its own box.
As it was to be about the body i had looked at many examples of books on the body. I wanted the book to have a medical feel to it and for the box to like a doctors box with anotmical pieces to learn from, and experiments the doctor would of been working on.

bones and tendons
These are samples made from plaster casts of my hand, then creating bones from wire and paper, and various textile pieces for the tendons and muscles. These have then been labeled with correct names
Altered book
This is a book which i have used as my base, cutting away the pages to fit the bottle of pixie dust inside. The clear page with sample piece of tanned pigs bladder, and sientific equations on painted pages. all adds to the medical feel i was trying to achive with this piece. My use of pigs bladder was to do with current findings on its medical properties, for the complex matrix's ability to grow back severed finger.
Sample book
This an under the microscope booklet with samples made from different papers, allowing you to view what different cells look like under the microscope.
