The Pain Exhibit
Many artistic expressions of life with chronic pain appear at the PainExhibit.org. Mark Collen is the founding artist, who continues to solicit submissions from around the world.
I'd idly dreamed of transforming some of that thick stack of test results into sculpture:
"Hey Doc, Have You Figured It Out Yet?" does just that. Collen's illuminated tower of radiographic images brings to mind a kiosk advertising cultural delights, as well as a cooling tower on a power plant. Powerful images indeed--these could be helpful exemplars when trying to convey the reality of chronic pain to those around us who don't get it (yet).
