[pretty ugly]
is a series of light paintings produced for the ongoing Milestone project which featured at Wellcome Gallery - one of the world's richest and most unique photographic collections, with themes ranging from medical and social history to contemporary healthcare and biomedical science.

The dynamic images try to evoke the chemical energies happening within the body through fluidity and light. They represent the power and control of medicine. Sold as limited editiondigital A3 prints, they are available individually, in pairs and as triptychs.
