Angela Palmer
Engraved Self-portrait, 2007The exhibition which the two pieces (above) were a part of, entitled Inside Out: Body Imaging Sculptures by Angela Palmer, was a solo exhibition of glass self-portraits and film. The exhibit which inspired the artist’s work — a scientific model constructed a by the Nobel Prize winner Dorothy Hodgkin — was loaned by the Museum of the History of Science in Oxford for the show. Dorothy Hodgkin drew the electron density contour images of the penicillin molecule on horizontal sheets of Perspex. The artist adapted this method by drawing details of the scanned human form on multiple sheets of glass, presented in three dimensions on a vertical plane.

Love isn’t about
fucking each other
at any opportunity.It also isn’t about
how many months
or years
that you’ve been together.To me,
love is about
being able to see light
inside of the person
who knows nothing
but darkness.
