CADAVER CHRONICLES EPISODE #2
Description:
I teach a drawing class in a cadaver lab. The sketches I draw from this dream job plus 20 more years of drawing bodies and anatomy have inspired me to make Cadaver Chronicles, a philosophical, occasionally explicit, and sometimes poignant and funny graphic memoir about childhood, anatomy, death, dying, healthcare, art, food, and relationships. These episodes are a preview of the novel-to-be! I have a long history with anatomy studies and health sciences. For me, every living creature has an anatomical identity. So much so that anatomy is not only an area of scientific knowledge and technical specificity, it’s a lifestyle!
Childhood trauma lead me to dissociating from those memories as well as my body. This second episode explains how dance and anatomy became my passions and allowed me to engage with my body psychologically safely through their studies. I also share my first experience in a cadaver lab at the age of 17!
