Void_Melbourne is pleased to present embedded bones with Sydney-based artist Eugenia RASKOPOULOS.

In her new series, embedded bones, Eugenia Raskopoulos turns the body inside out. For the first time since 1998 she is using classical Greek statuary, on this occasion inserting X-rays of her feet, spine, pelvis and skull into the corresponding sculptural fragments. Her internal bodily structure becomes both exoskeleton and is clothed in stone. There are complex conjunctions and disjunctions here, as there are with the two neon works, both titled Self-portrait.
