Moffatt's photographic series of works such as Pet Thang (1991) and Laudanum (1998) returned to the themes of Something More exploring mixed and sometimes obscure references to issues of sexuality, history, representation and race. Other series of images, notably Scarred for Life (1994) and Scarred for Life II (1999) again tackled these themes but which took the form of book or magazine illustrations with captions offering ironic and humorous commentaries on the images...
nota
Laudanum
is known as a "whole opium" preparation since it historically contained
all the opium alkaloids. Today, however, the drug is often processed to
remove all or most of the noscapine (also narcotine)
present as this is a strong emetic and does not add appreciably to the
analgesic or anti-propulsive properties of opium; the resulting solution
is called Denarcotized Tincture of Opium or Deodorized Tincture of
Opium (DTO).
Laudanum
remains available by prescription in the United States and
theoretically in the United Kingdom, although today the drug's
therapeutic indications are generally confined to controlling diarrhea,
alleviating pain, and easing withdrawal symptoms in infants born to
mothers addicted to heroin or other opioids. Recent enforcement action
by the FDA against manufacturers of paregoric and opium tincture
suggests that opium tincture's availability in the U.S. may be in
jeopardy.
