+Medicine Cabinet+ is extremely excited to present a diorama by artist Michaela Calhoun. Michaela's work in fabric, sculpture, and painting explores the intersection of her practice as a fabricator of facial prosthetics with her interest in folklore (specifically the superstitions attached to magpies). Like a Cabinet of Curiosities traditionally showcasing medical oddities (even though back in the day the "cabinets" were actually small rooms), the faux wood parameters of the +Medicine Cabinet+ will host a proposal for the rectification of a wound which derived from a direct blow of fairytale violence.
