The series Fetus are unique creations and are like dissecting extra-terrestrial bodies; one can imagine being engulfed in a bursting nebula. Fetus is the half-known, half-seen and is the perfect breeding ground for desire and hallucination. The earliest known drawing of an accurately defined human fetus was the celebrated one by Leonardo da Vinci, probably dating to the early 16th century, and the earliest known sculpture of the developing human was an 18th century piece intended for medical instruction. But maybe the earliest images of the human fetus were made in Formative Period in Mexico more than 2,000 years prior to Leonardo's anatomical study. In contemporary art fetus are often held as symbols for miss-carriages but to Isaksson Garnell they are living creatures in their final stage of evolution.
