About this piece:
Made Up is a non-scientific science book about the imaginary cellular composition of the human body. Fourteen cells are illustrated: Anger, Curiosity, Fear, Love, etc. The cell images are vibrant multi-block and reduction linoleum prints with an overlay diagram explaining how each cell operates. The text is playfully pseudo-scientific and presents theories about the attributes that “make up” a person.
