A Faulty Dissection is an exhibition of sculpture and lithography that seeks
to provide a contemporary interpretation on the classical theme of equine
anatomy. Produced with the precision and technical mastery demonstrated in
traditional scientific drawings, these works succeed in being more than just
illustration; they possess a delicate and visceral sensuality toward the
fragility of flesh and bones. Castration Irons by Sarah Robinson is
simultaneously beautiful but brutal in its depiction of a surgical
implement. Passive and attractive in its subtle rendering, it is only when
we understand the true use of the portrayed object, that we are confronted
by it’s ability to cause distress to living flesh. Inspired by George Stubbs
1766 publication “The Anatomy of the Horse,
