Tumour installation, 2009

Tumour installation, 2009

details about this work


Jenny Wright is based in London


Drawing is key in my research into the haptic nature of surgical operations. I use lines to mark and delineating space of anatomical structures and record he movement of the tool and the surgeon's hand.
At Moorfields hospital I have used linear forms to assess visual distortions as well as understand the physical damage caused by advancing disease.
