Clare Lymer- Continuance
New work by Visual Artist Clare Lymer in collaboration with PhD Fellow Emer Hackett and Professor Joseph Keane of Trinity Centre for Health Sciences TB Immunology Research Group. The work seeks to explore the human experience of isolation suffered by TB patients. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the world's most lethal bacterium causing over 1 million deaths per annum. Diagnosed with TB during the 1950s, Clare's Grandfather was kept in isolation for a period of more than 12 months. Clare will create a temporal event that connects cells of our being to a celestial body used to determine time.
