"Michael Mapes borrows from the entomological practice of pinning bugs to a board in this collection of human portraits. The artist uses several specimen cutouts consisting of human body parts and carefully arranges them in order to create a visually stunning piece of work.  The collection is at once both provocative and alluring. The composition of the illustration is impressive in its intricate layout; however, the format in which the visual representation is delivered (scientific specimen) is slightly off putting. The work recalls impressions of mad science and human experiments, turning scientist into specimen.  It&amp;#039;s interesting to see how the human body can be taken apart and categorized into individual segments, forcing the audience to consider the intricacies of their own physical bodies."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
