My Amazing Body Machine

A series of fifty hand-cut artworks, created to illustrate the children's non-fiction book My Amazing Body Machine by Robert Winston, which takes young readers on a unique and exciting journey through the human anatomy.

Bringing to life professor Robert Winston’s scientific explorations, Owen constructed intricate papercraft artworks of every single working parts of the human anatomy. Layered paper and blocks of colour were used to create realistic diagrams, and scientific consultants were brought into the project to ensure each piece, from the intricately wired brain and nervous system to the framework of the skeleton, was anatomically correct.
