Anatomy of Multiple Sclerosis
A model of axons (peach), myelin (purple), the virus (green dots) that infects the aulethoendrosites (spelt wrong), and the foamy macrophages (the red bits). The yellow ball is a B-cell infected with the virus.
The Central Nervous System
This is a Scientific Creative Modelling workshop that myself and Matthew Raw, ceramic artist, facilitated. While there was a discussion between pathologists, clinicians, researchers and scientists all working on research on MS, I felt a very simple physical modeling technique could be an interesting approach to introducing another creative language to the mix. I can say that some of the results were very interesting.
This workshop was developed into The Chronic Counter. Asking scientists and clinicians to imagine themselves as chefs then build their research through using food as the creative medium. How could these then represent meals we can eat?
