Illuminating the Self and
A Public Engagement Project
As a project, we are keen to engage with the public and the epilepsy community to ensure that the project meets the needs of people with epilepsy. This is why we have a patient advisory group who have helped shape the requirements of the therapy. We have also held open events and talks about the project where anybody can learn about CANDO and ask questions.
To help that engagement we have collaborated with renowned artist Andrew Carnie for concurrent exhibitions which have been running since the start of 2020 at the Hatton Gallery and Vane in Newcastle upon Tyne. The exhibition at Vane has now closed but will continue at the Hatton Gallery until 9 May 2020. We have also worked with North East based theatre company Operating Theatre to develop new drama Deep Mind & The Great Puzzle which will be performed during Brain Awareness Week in March 2020.
The result of over two years of research with CANDO, the work aims to stimulate discussion and understanding of epilepsy and the use of technology within the human brain.

Monoprint
Series of prints with artist Susan Aldworth for Global Eye Arts. 2014
A monoprint is one of a series—therefore, not wholly unique. A monoprint begins with an etched plate, a serigraph, lithograph or collograph. This underlying image remains the same and is common to each print in a given series. Other means of adding pigment or design are then employed to make each print in the series slightly different. The series of monoprints has a limited number of prints and each is numbered.
A monotype is one of a kind, a unique piece of artwork. It is the simplest form of printmaking, requiring only pigments, a surface on which to apply them, paper and some form of press. Frank Howell, the late Santa Fe artist who became an expert with the medium of monotypes, most clearly describes the process:
