Oh hey, remember I said ages ago about the Exquisite Bodies exhibit at the Wellcome collection thats on at the moment? I finally went to see it today and its amaazing. Im so annoyed its ending on sunday because I would really love to go again but I wont have time. Like it was so aesthetic in its gruesomeness. I dont know I think I always say this sort of thing and no one understands but im sure you do!!!

I was then planning on going to the tate for the Pop Life exhibition going on at the moment, but eugh it was so hot and SO many people. It wasnt a gallery it was a fucking tourist trap. massive que to get into Pop Life so we wandered around the other galleries for a bit, but I forgot the Rothko room has moved and there was so many people it just freaked me out and I had to leave. it was wierd and all I kept thinking about was all these people breathing over the art. I dunno, weird. I bought some nice shit from paperchase though so that made me happy. glitter baby deer anyone? hellooo.

Well Im currently watching The September Issue and it is so good so i dont wanna interrupt that too much. Sorry this is another boring post isnt it? I am so busy busy busy right now. Oh hey Im knitting a mask. Thats exciting.

I love you all.

hah.

Paris, undated (late 19th century)


The Roca Collection includes a number of waxes made by Jules Talrich (1826-1904), the son of a French physician who became a celebrated anatomical model maker.

Talrich took over his father’s business making models in wax, plaster and other materials, and later became the official model maker for the Faculty of Medicine in Paris.

He established an anatomical museum in the Rue Rougemont and supplied models to the museum established by Doctor Spitzner and the Grand Panopticum de l’Univers.
