Body Of Work: Excavating History at the International Museum of Surgical Science
Distillery of Knowledge

2011
In the library, it is clear that medical information grows and develops as each researcher takes into account what came before, and tried to add to it: literally re-searching. Sometimes the paths are fruitful, sometimes they are dead ends or wrong turns. This installation uses laboratory glass beakers and distillers to underscore the precariousness of the process.
