'Post Mortem' acrylic on wood. This is actually a bit of a self portrait, as I earn a living (when not painting etc) working in a public mortuary. A big part of my position is evisceration, removing all organs for a pathologist to dissect and exam. The body is then reconstructed and so on. So the incision you see here and the reflection of the tissue is my daily routine, painted slightly less graphically perhaps - but you get the idea! One more in this series to come.
