Of Giants is series of ceramic sculptures of enlarged human body parts by ceramic artist Olivia Rozema. Based upon a series of drawings completed at the McMaster Medical Anatomy Lab, each sculpture represents of an individual piece of the body. Emulating the format of catalogued specimens each sculpture is titled with a number. Each number stands for how tall a person would be if these fragments were a true part of a body. For example, the sculpture which represents all the bones in a human left foot is titled 49 10/12. This means that a person with a giant’s foot of this scale would be about 49’ 10” tall.

Despite their beginnings as human anatomic specimens, as a result of their scale and surface, these sculptures seem to be the remnants of a gargantuan pre-historic creature. These giant-scale human body parts re-mythologize and monumentalize our hidden and mysterious insides. They have an excess in size that places them outside the realm of human, but in truth our insides are the strange giants that are strewn across the earth. The final frontier is beneath our skin, and although they often remain unseen, our bodies are made up of a complex network of sculptures that each person carries with them as they move through their lives.
