Skelly, a Prince George-produced dissectable human model, is back in his hometown after a trip to Seattle.
The anatomical model is the brainchild of College of New Caledonia student Jordan Simmons, who was invited to present his work down south in October.
There Simmons used Skelly to demonstrate surgical and dissection procedures using the Touch Surgery app to help guide the various surgeries.
The result is a "unique amalgamation of science and art," the CNC press release said.
Made of a host of materials - elastic waistbands, wire mesh, duct tape, straws, beads, balloons and more - Skelly started off as a study aid for Simmons.
Simmons built the small body over six months with an existing model skeleton as his starting point.
From there, he added the pieces to create the anatomy, using Essential Anatomy 5 iPhone app to determine the position and relative size.
Now Skelly's on display outside the Biology labs (room 3-203) at the college.
"Having the opportunity to display my work at CNC has been very exciting for me", said Simmons, who is studying anatomy and physiology, in a release.
"I would like for others to enjoy medicine and to approach the study as I do."
Simmons presented Skelly at an art show fundraiser in Seattle for the Same Love garden being built outside the All Pilgrims Church in that city.
