Sample Page from 'Remnant'


This is one of the samples i have made for the new project i am doing called 'Remnant'. This is project that is about objects, places, people that leave behind something; either it be a memory that is personal to you/others or something that leaves behind something that is physical. I have chosen mummies or mummification. I love how the mummified remains of an individual is the remnant of their former self; a shell of a person that once was walking, talking and breathing. I have narrowed this concept in  my project to the mummified remains that are Bog Bodies. What i find interesting about bog bodies is that usually the reason why they are found in the acidic bogs that mummify them is the outcome of a murderers attempt to conceal the body or a sacrificial rite made by the ancient peoples of the land.
