precious beauty therapy / Emma Louise Rixhon.

"Precious beauty therapy is a riso-printed collection of daily notes from my phone exploring the experience of going through pbt, proton beam therapy, illustrated by photographs I took in hospital. The photographs are the royal blue that I would see behind closed eyes during pbt sessions. The blue flashing lights are a way of the brain communicating this unique experience, and not a visual one. 100% of the profits of the book are being split between Macmillan and Trekstock. Writing after treatment was a ritualising of having to go to hospital every day for six weeks. turning it into a creative project was both a way of processing this time for myself and to give back to organisations who provide invaluable holistic care to cancer and brain tumour patients." -- From artist's website.
