The ‘Church of Bones’ or Kostnice (Sedlec Ossuary) in Kutna Hora, Prague; Frantisek Rint used some of the estimated 40,000 to 70,000 skeletons of people buried there during the Black Death in the 15th century to adorn the interior of the church. A very different way of seeing these same bones and skulls, amassed to support great structures and sculptures.

* The wooden postcard draws together two Murdofleur heroes: Joseph Beuys and Francis Bacon. Bacon’s text, ‘Silva Silvarum’, meaning ‘wood of woods’ (published posthumously in 1628), is about acquiring knowledge through methodological experiment; ideas are accumulated to the point of listing. So too Murdofleur’s scroll of postcards aims to stimulate ideas beyond.
