PRECIOUS BEAUTY THERAPY by Emma Louise Rixhon
140 x 200mm, 48 pages, Risograph printing, Machine stitched, Softcover, Ed. of 200, 2023
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.
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.
