Woven version of Xrays

(Self) Portrait NHS at Work

Not pretty. Woven versions of x-rays. Pre and post surgery in 2011 to clean up joints and insert straightening pins. In rheumatoid arthritis anti-bodies, which are meant to protect from bacteria and viruses, attack the tissues around the joints. A case of mistaken idendity. Woven using the system of transparent overlays as a design tool, as taught by Alice Schlien
