Showing until 5 April 2009 at Wellcome Collection, 138 Houston Rd, London.
"Taking inspiration from Henry Wellcome’s rich collections, Mark Clarke has devised five ‘cabinets of cures’ for Wellcome Collection. Created from his personal hoard of reclaimed fabrics and found objects, each cabinet tells of a personality or story from the history of our struggle against sickness and disease."

I like these images because- I collect these cabinets, I love the use of fabrics to relay a narrative and I find his work has a great macabre/fantastical/fairytale/surreal feel to it.
