1969. 'Mummy Case'. Life size 3-D sculpture and assemblage. Life casts, death casts, fiberglass, resin, bone, stainless steel, silk stocking and satin.

The 'Mummy Case' was made during my last year at Chelsea College of Art. It was exhibited in 'Young and Fantastic' at the Institute of Contemporary Art, London, in the summer of '69. This piece was made during the period when I was trying to overcome my squeamishness and death taboos by drawing and photographing in the dissecting room at a London hospital. There are life casts in the Mummy Case of mummified body parts. The face and breasts are life casts of myself. The 'Mummy Case' is homage to a deep connection with ancient Egypt.
