AUSTRALIAN ART West Australiana SCULPTURE

Exhibition Catalogue. Perth-based painter, sculptor and printmaker. Has been a long term artist in residence at the School of Anatomy and Human Biology at the University of Western Australia.

For several decades he has been an artist in residence at the School of Anatomy and Human Biology at at the University of Western Australia in Perth. He has collaborated with scientists on projects including embryological cell development drawings; mammary gland ultrasound drawings; laproscopic histroectomy drawings; Micro slides and fossil reconstruction. In 2004 Arkeveld participated in the Biodifference exhibition at the Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth (BEAP). At this time he was particularly focused on the qualities of bone. As quoted on the BEAP2004 website: “For many years I have wanted in some way to explore bone, using bone dust, slices of dense bone and traeculae bone, and eventually to use osteoblast cells…it is the only structure from living creatures that remains for any length of time. Hundreds of thousands of years as bone, millions of years as fossilised bone [it is]the most important material for understanding evolution”. Arkeveld’s exhibit at Biodifference consisted of his trials of growing living materials on moulds of latex, casien, algimate, bone dust and osteoblast cells and the trials of growing in a confined space.
