Heart 2 Heart, Kidney Stones, Spots on your Lungs, Paisley Kidney, Lily Livered and Floral Liver, 1996
screen-printed cotton, wadding,150 × 125 mm – 240 × 920 mm
People often ask “What is it?” Shouldn’t we know what our kidneys, let alone our hearts, really look like? These pieces are not intended to educate but entertain and stimulate. “Body Parts” combine Freddie Robins’ interest in word games, medicine and humour eg: turning fabrics such as iron-burnt cotton drill into a visualization of Heartburn.
