The so-called Vague Inventory of Ailments and States is a pictorial investigation of the textural details observed in anatomical and geological structures. The work sought to categorise textures - like a pictorial inventory focused on the textures of certain pathologies and rock formation - drawing parallels between different kinds of organic growth. Described as “vague” due to the non-specificity of the image due to the merging of anatomical and geological forms.
