Notes

"The labelling of this pill packet draws attention to what the artist feels is missing in the way mental difference is treated: "dignity", which "cannot e taken four times a day". In Sen's words: Being labelled, pathologised and medicated, / I cannot claim my mind for myself / I cannot claim my life for myself / So how can I even have dignity?"--From Being Human exhibition caption.
The original artwork is a digital piece in PDF format. When printed and constructed it becomes a pill box inscribed "Dignity / cannot be taken / 4 times a day".
The version on display in Being Human at Wellcome Collection is printed in colour on card.
