Lucy Lyons - converging medicine and drawing

<p>In this episode, Sophie talks to Lucy Lyons whose passion for drawing and the process she calls ‘slow looking’ converges with a fascination for anatomy and pathology. Her PhD, entitled Delineating Disease, was completed at Sheffield Hallam in 2009 involved investigating medicine through the methodology of artistic practice. She has continued to pursue this path and is now a registered medical illustrator and teaches at City &amp; Guilds of London Art School. Likening the exploratory dimensions of academic artistic practice to sending canaries down a mine, she is frustrated that we still have to justify this approach. She believes that research can be subversive and that the value of not knowing something should be reasserted.</p> <p>Please note: This episode was recorded in 2018.</p> <p>Links:</p> <p><a href="https://www.maa.org.uk/lucy-lyons">https://www.maa.org.uk/lucy-lyons</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.cityandguildsartschool.ac.uk/lucy-lyons/">https://www.cityandguildsartschool.ac.uk/lucy-lyons/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.medinart.eu/works/lucy-lyons/">https://www.medinart.eu/works/lucy-lyons/</a></p> <p>Journal of artistic research (open access): <a href="https://www.jar-online.net/">https://www.jar-online.net/</a></p>
