Precious Beauty Therapy - Emma Louise Rixhon
£15.00
Precious beauty therapy is 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.
This became a seizing of a situation I had zero control over, turning it into a creative project both as 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. 100% of the profits of the book are being split between Macmillan and Trekstock.
