Mirroring & Multiplying    
Mirroring & Multiplying
In the visual representation of anatomy, specimens and images are often mirrored or multiplied. The same specimens are reproduced in paintings, drawings, prints and models. Sir Charles Bell, a great surgeon and artist, copied his specimens in these different ways to help teach others. Later, photographs were used in stereoscopic atlases collections of 'maps' of the body and by displaying two very similar images side by side an impression of three dimensions is achieved.

Mirroring & Multiplying includes commissioned work by Claude Heath
