BODYSTORIES

A GUIDE TO EXPERIENTIAL ANATOMY

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Visual Images

I have chosen the work of twelve artists in the areas of painting, photography, sculpture, furniture making, architecture, and costume design to accompany the text. Their work tells its own story in relation to the body, and asks participation in making the connection between image and word. Multicultural images are included for a world perspective. Movement sketches, anatomical illustrations, and photographs are used to clarify experiential work. Children’s drawings enliven the writing with their own view of the body.
