Misprints 2018/19
This was a long term residency in Parkinson’s Disease research at University of Dundee. It comprised of a period of intensive research in the laboratories; a series of arts workshops I delivered for a group of people with Parkinson’s at Maggies Centre, Ninewells hospital; a series of graphite drawings developed from my visual research; a series of laser prints made at the print studio, DCA, a staff (research scientists) workshop I delivered at Life Science, University of Dundee, and a final interactive event at DCA, Dundee.
