Exhibition: Michele Beevors - Anatomy Lessons
This is a Council led event.
Hurstville Museum and Gallery and Clive James Library and Service Centre.
12/09/2026 - 06/12/2026
Anatomy Lessons by Michele Beevors, features meticulously sculpted, life-sized animal skeletons painstakingly measured, drawn and sculpted from steel, wire, and foam, and knitted over in a fine-art softening of the subject beneath. Care, grief and feelings of responsibility about our part in mass extinction, have driven Beevors to produce work which is critical and timely.
Seventeen years in the making, the creation of the pieces has been a long and exacting process: from measuring bones in museum basement collections to sculpting and articulating skeletons, to the slow, meditative act of knitting, a silent soft protest at the violence we are inflicting on the planet.
