This project is in its final stage.


The final artwork is currently being created.  It is inspired by research and conversations with TUH Dermatology consultants and reflects the artists political and physiological reality of living in a 'female' middle-aged skin.


There will be a series of live artworks during the launch week and the final artwork will be permanently installated in TUH in 2025.
