We’ve featured the incredible embroidery of visual artist Candace Couse before, and she recently took some time to tell Street Anatomy about her new installation piece, titled Waste. Installed in the Basement Gallery in Basel, Switzerland, Candace explains that Waste,
…explores ideas of malady, the body, relationships and loss through the internal, and deeply private realms of the body. Resembling something in between soft and tempting medical charts that beg to be touched, and the cross slices of anatomical studies, these organs form relationships that connect, disconnect and leave wounds in a montage typically reserved for the world beyond the skin.
It’s a beautiful visually interactive piece. Candace succeeds at disjointing yet connecting the body at the same time.

Medical illustrator Emily Evans has released a range of exciting Mexican Day of the Dead Sugar Skull wallpaper adding to her range of homewares. This includes a series of histology dessert plates which sold out within hours of going on sale at our Street Anatomy Gallery Store.
The elegant design of the Sugar Skull is representative of the Mexican ‘Day of the Dead’ celebrations, the folkloric skull an iconic symbol of life and death. The intricately illustrated skull has been given a sophisticated twist by replicating it in gold on a rich matt dark charcoal, making it a luxurious addition to any interior.
Although we have tried our best to give the most accurate photographic representation of the wallpaper, we urge you to buy a sample to ensure you know what you are purchasing as returns will not be accepted unless the wallpaper is faulty. We are not liable for any damage or problems caused by faulty hanging. Hanging instructions are included with each purchase.
It is the responsibility of the customer to have correctly measured the amount of wallpaper needed, this is not a service we offer.
