I got sent this pencil drawing series "You're Not Unique In Dying" by Chris Oliver a few weeks ago. The four detailed, hand drawn images are titled "Varanasi (Ribcage)" "Bodh Gaya (Thigh Bone)" "Mecca (Teeth) " and "Jerusalem (Pelvis)". Each piece has a set of coordinates based upon the area it is titled after as well as a series of geometric patterns overlaid onto the bone structure. Oliver has intentionally used Winsor & Newton architectural paper for the large scale drawings; an insightful way to examine the structure and formation of the human body, which like any building, is made of firm foundations and a strong skeletal structure.
