Anatomy Series - Grainne Tynan's Artist Statement

The Anatomy Series deals with the complexity of containing human emotion and draws from Grainne Tynan’s experiences of studying Anatomy and Physiology in Trinity College Dublin. The anatomical structure of the heart is explored along with its rich layers of applied meaning and metaphor. This contextual piece is juxtaposed with the realisation of the body’s mechanical functionality. This is conveyed through small and large scale drawings, combining sculptural elements of found objects, which evoke the fragility of emotion.
