This week I wrote about illness, art, the Romney Marshes and Fay Godwin.
Part of my PhD research - beachcombing the rising tide.
On how ongoing illness can influence and impact on creative practice.

Beautiful piece: "I am curious about how illness can affect writers and artists, beyond the immediacy of our bodies and levels of functioning. I’m wondering about how it impacts on creative process and practice."
I have a new essay up at @unibirmingham.bsky.social Arts of Place site. 'Art of the Marsh' considers how creative practice changes through illness. Here I visit the beach at Pett and sit on the bench dedicated to Fay Godwin.

Terrifying. And who will be subpoenaed when this goes wrong and someone dies from a medical error made by AI? These executives are going to find themselves on the pointed end of some mega lawsuits in the future.
These works are being developed through Creative and Heartfelt Tactics, a residency programme exploring art practice as activism, led by myself and Caroline Cardus.
Join us for a joyful, subversive evening of performance by disabled artists.

'One of society’s great collective denials is of disability and chronic illness. It is the one marginalised group we are all likely to join at one time or another during our lives.'
I bring together my experience of the menopause with ME in this piece for @the-polyphony.bsky.social. Many thanks to @alyfixit.bsky.social for supporting this work.

Arlene Jackson’s reflective cyanotype prints allow the sun’s rays to transform a body dehumanised by sexist medical disbelief into ‘something extraordinary’.

The Unhurried Reader 📚🦊🇺🇦
Pharmaceutical companies are already replacing teams of medical writers with Claude bc Claude can review a massive amt of data from drug trials in hours that would take humans months to review and validate. Now pharma can roll out new drugs faster and not pay a pesky salary and benefits to people.🙄
