‘Making Beauty’ is a collaboration to create a series of artworks in new materials. I’m working in partnership with Dr Richard Day and Professor Alastair Forbes and their colleagues at University College Hospital, London and University of East Anglia, Norwich. The project is a creative response to pioneering therapeutic device developments for regenerative therapy in the context of nutrition and health, and includes the aim of encouraging audiences to consider and examine the ethics of medical research. The projects compliments and extends my continuing interest in the application of unusual materials for art works.
‘Making Beauty’ is being developed with funding from The Wellcome Trust with curatorial support from Gill Hedley and advice from Mark Segal, both also acting as critical friends.

In the operating theatre – bowel stapler – the most amazing tool I have seen, it staples from inside and completely joins and closes two cutout sections of the bowel together – brilliant.
