About Me

I'm a PhD student researching the role of the archaeological dead in contemporary British society. Think of this as a scrapbook of all the interesting links, snippets of information and random bits and bobs I come across pertaining to death, dying and the dead. Enjoy?!

    PALACES is a unique art project by Gina Czarnecki which will create a magical sculpture out of milk teeth donated by the public.

    The PALACE will grow over time like a coral reef, to form a fantastical palace-like structure made of thousands of milk teeth donated by children around the UK.

    We need your milk teeth in order to create the PALACE!

    Visit palaces.org.uk for updates, news and information.

    PALACES is a public artwork – as it takes shape, it will be exhibited at arts and science venues across the country,

Children can donate their pearly whites to the exhibition and they will be incorporated into this amazing sculpture. Diagram of a Summer House, 2012 - Dental casts!

    A few snaps I took at The Wasted Works at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester. This was an exhibition by Gina Czarnecki that explored the life-giving potential of ‘discarded’ body parts, as well as their relationship to myths, history, stem cell research and notions of what constitutes informed consent. It’s off to Coventry next and is definitely worth a peep if you’re in the vicinity!

    You can see a few more photographs on my Flickr.
