Mark Morrisroe, an instrumental figure in the 1970’s Boston punk scene, was 30 years old when he died of an AIDS-related illness in1989. The work displayed here, made during his final years, uses photographs and X-ray images alongside other ephemera. Many of these works were produced in a makeshift darkroom in his hospital bathroom. His photographic work revolved around the friends and lovers of his everyday milieu, and the exploration of his own image and identity
