4 May-27 June, Street Gallery at UCH
"In some circumstances, patients volunteer to take part in
studies where the potential benefit to them individually is unknown. It is an
extraordinary example of unselfishness, generosity, hope and human spirit. The
perseverance, determination and vision of the researcher is more than met by
their partner in discovery. We are totally dependent on each other. Clare's
thought-provoking photos have brought this into focus.’ Dr Emma Morris
Clare Park's exhibition, Gathering Light, is a collaboration between patients, 5 doctors/researchers in translational research (one of whom is Dr Emma Morris from the Research Department of Immunology), and the photographer that gives an expression to the experience of being treated and treating, and of discovery and recovery.
The project was commissioned by the Joint Research Office with support from UCLH Arts.
