Wellcome Collection Stories "Abandoning daydreams of a life without diabetes" Illustrations.

Wellcome Collection Stories:

Produced for the Wellcome Collection Stories, this series reflects the balancing act between embracing life and living with a chronic disease felt in Daisy Watson Shaw’s article Abandoning daydreams of a life without diabetes, and my own experience of living with type 1 diabetes; and the tension between the hope for a cure, and the desire to experience life fully now.

My is interested in making the invisible visible – the idea that the body is no longer able to manage itself; the technology of ‘the cyborg’ (the ‘diaborg’); and medical waste as both an intrinsic part of treatment and an environmental issue at the same time. The images consider the issues that Daisy raises of confusion, the shame and potential that living outside-in with your body all entail.

My work questions notions of bodily autonomy and identity that are raised in becoming a person (/patient) living with diabetes, and the ways in which art and graphic medicine can provide a pathway for better patient interaction.

"I've found accepting myself as a person with diabetes to be confusing" main picture.

"People with type 1 diabetes can be up to three times more likely to experience depression. The compassion and understanding from those around us would be a lifeline"

"Even now I sometimes take myself off to the nearest toilet to do my injection - no matter how dark, grotty and disgusting - so people don't ask questions"

Thumbnail sketches. Process.
