The secondary role is to make white blood cells and antibodies to help fight infection in the body. In traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen is seen as a key organ, it is the symbol Yin while the stomach is the Yang. In ancient Greek medicine the spleen was linked to black bile, which was regarded as a cause of melancholia.<br /> <br />In Les Fleurs du Mal (Flowers of Evil), poet Charles Baudelaire wrote a series of ‘spleen’ poems which in France at the time popularised the association of the spleen with melancholy. In Spleen, Baudelaire paints an image (through language) of a dreary atmosphere, one with cold rain and foggy suburbs. There is an overall melancholic depiction of the atmosphere that the narrator is situated within. The narrator ruminates on lost past lovers while “a great bell mourns” and a wet log is wrapped in smoke. Baudelaire uses these atmospheric elements and motifs to communicate emotion, and continues the connection between the spleen and a person’s state of pensive sadness or melancholy.<br /> <br />After reading Baudelaire’s Spleen I went to the Queen Victoria market, I walked around the butchers stalls looking for some organs, hoping to find a place where I could get some spleens. Most of the stalls had the standard meats or what I assumed where standard (as I don’t eat it myself). I asked a few butchers if they had any spleens that I could have and they all looked puzzled when I asked. On the way out I saw a display of cow hearts, I then proceeded to ask the butcher if she could find me a cow’s spleen that was 11 cm — according to the internet this is how large my own spleen would be. The spleen was then placed in a plastic bag and wrapped in butchers paper. I caught a train to Caulfield where the carriage began to stink of organs. At the university I placed the spleen on a sheet of steel and photographed it with my father’s old Pentax, as the light of my father’s overhead projector lit the organ.<br /> <br /></span></h2><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <h2 style="--font-scale: 0.4;"><i>New Photographers</i>, Daine Singer. </h2><br /> <br /> <br /> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/J1984483351594443151884923865507/0G6A4385-copy.jpg <h2 style="--font-scale: 0.25;">Installation view, Pipes,  Hyacinth, Melbourne, 2023. <br /> Carrier 1, Silver gelatin print, Australian blackwood and glass. 34 cm x 28.9 cm. 2023 <br /> Carrier 2, Silver gelatin print, Australian blackwood and glass. 34 cm x 28.9 cm. 2023</h2><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/C1984484406102568125491441994147/_24A9722-4.jpg <h2 style="--font-scale: 0.25;"><i>untitled (Spleen)</i>, Silver gelatine print, 50 cm x 34 cm, 2022</h2><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Y2035947543399266345585506421155/0G6A4376-copy.jpg <h2 style="--font-scale: 0.25;"><i>Suspension</i>, Silver gelatin print, Australian blackwood and glass. 41 cm x 33.2 cm. 2023<br /> </h2> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/J2035947543473053321880344627619/0G6A4380-copy.jpg <h2 style="--font-scale: 0.25;"><i>Carrier 4, </i>Silver gelatin print, Australian blackwood and glass. 32 cm x 34 cm, 2023.<br /> </h2> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/T2035947543491500065954054179235/0G6A4364-copy.jpg <h2 style="--font-scale: 0.25;">Installation view, <i>Pipes</i>, Hyacinth, Melbourne, 2023. <br /> <i>Carrier 4, </i>Silver gelatin print, Australian blackwood and glass. 32 cm x 34 cm, 2023.<br /> <i>Clasp, </i>Silver gelatin print, Australian blackwood and glass. 67 cm x 50.5 cm. 2023<br /> <i>Carrier 5, </i>Silver gelatin print, Australian blackwood and glass. 32 cm x 34 cm. 2023</h2> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/S2035947543436159833732925524387/0G6A4377-copy.jpg <h2 style="--font-scale: 0.25;">Installation View of <i>Pipes</i> at Hyacinth, 2023 <br /> Works left to right: <br /> <i>Clasp, </i>Silver gelatin print, Australian blackwood and glass. 67 cm x 50.5 cm. 2023<br /> <i>Carrier 5, </i>Silver gelatin print, Australian blackwood and glass. 32 cm x 34 cm. 2023<br /> <br /></h2> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/H2035947543602180530396311488931/_24A9747-copy.jpg <h2 style="--font-scale: 0.25;"><i>untitled</i>, inkjet print in aluminium frame, 160 cm x 108 cm, 2022 </h2> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/G2035947543380819601511796869539/0G6A4382-copy.jpg <h2 style="--font-scale: 0.25;"><i>Carrier 3 (A web of sewer, pipe, and wire connects each house to the others), </i>Silver gelatin print, Australian blackwood and glass. 28.9 cm x 340 cm. 2023</h2> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/V2035947543583733786322601937315/0G6A4388-copy.jpg <h2 style="--font-scale: 0.25;">Installation View of <i>Pipes</i> at Hyacinth, 2023  <br /> <i>I think of a sentence and it disappears into the landscape, </i>Silver gelatin print, Australian blackwood and glass. 35.2 cm x 420 cm. 2023<br /> <br /></h2> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/M2248814507233989363650570652067/Mahady_2025_Pressure_gauge_01_web.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/K2248814507270882851797989755299/Mahady_2025_Suction_fan_web.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/R2248814507252436107724280203683/Mahady_2025_Glove_compartment_01_web.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z2248814507289329595871699306915/photoaccess-5.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/N2421623664782974967207242926499/Mahady_2025_Trawler_web-7.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/B2421623664819868455354662029731/Mahady_2025_Trawler_web-8.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/B2421623664856761943502081132963/Mahady_2025_Trawler_web-10.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2421623664838315199428371581347/Mahady_2025_Trawler_web-9.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/V2421623664893655431649500236195/Mahady_2025_Trawler_web-12.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Q2421623664912102175723209787811/Mahady_2025_Trawler_web-13.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/E2421623664875208687575790684579/Mahady_2025_Trawler_web-11.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/J2421623664930548919796919339427/Mahady_2025_Trawler_web-14.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/L2421623664948995663870628891043/Mahady_2025_Trawler_web-15.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/K2421624775904157503028374964643/Mahady_2025_Trawler_web-23.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z2421626250241730850190578321827/web-6965.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/W2421628892700925920936428210595/Mahady_2025_Trawler_web.jpg https://nicholasmahady.com/main 2024-02-22T10:13:51+00:00 always 0.5
