Acute Catarhh by R.E Wolf

I have been known in the past to make some interesting impulse purchases, probably my most stupid was 2 1960’s bycycles. This box has to be my weirdest purchase I have ever made. It is in fact a piece of artwork from Ryan Wolf entitled “Acute Catarhh”, the artwork consists of this small box filled with old looking text, photographs, a lovely sketch of a nasal passage and a bottle of catarhh remedy. I have absolutely no recollection of how I stumbled upon his site but i’m glad I did as I am now proud owner of the strangest titled artwork I have ever seen.
Ryans work usually involves slightly scary representations of parts of the body and this was a set of 3 boxes about ailments. If you are interested to see what is inside the box visit Variance art.

Thank you for the kind words, Rob! When I found the title for that one, the phrase stuck in my head for days… like a head cold!

I’ve always wanted to play base catarrh.
