Proto... Meta... Intra...

A trio of artworks have been commissioned specially for the Postgraduate Medical Institute (PMI) at Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford. The designs draw on the methods, practices and technologies of the medical research work being undertaken within the PMI.

The artworks have been created by Heather Barnett working with Karl Kjelstrup-Johnson (SkinGraph) and in consultation with PMI medical research teams.

The artworks take inspiration from biological and technological systems, such as CT scanning, computer modelling and molecular structures. Each work is incomplete or partially evident, inviting you to decode visualisations, fill in the gaps and mentally construct the body as a whole.

The titles to the works [Proto..., Meta..., Intra...]are also purposefully unfinished. As prefixes only (with their root in the classical languages of medical science) you are invited to complete the titles by adding your own suffix.

See the project blog for details and updates.

Expected completion date: December 2011
