dc.description.abstract	The work is developed from photographs of details of life-preserving equipment, such a s IV drips, monitors, electric wiring and tubes. Indian ink drawing overlays a collaged print of a laboratory from the archives of Dr Leonhard Miller, the artist's father-in-law. The corridor of the laboratory is barely visible as the layered ink lines and painterly washes engulf the print. The concept of the work revolves around the the personal experience and fears of the sick being a laboratory speciman, available for random testing and trials. The technical execution of the art work involves both detailed observation and blotched stains to extend the meaning of the work.The work was first exhibited as part of the solo "Enfolding" as research into trauma, loss and the ethics of care.	en
