GUT FEELINGS
A collaboration between artist Sarah Dixon and Ryman Hashem, Senior Research Fellow at UCL WEISS Centre, to explore the impacts of Hyperemesis Gravidarum.
SEVERE SICKNESS
This condition affects around 1-3% of people in pregnancy, yet is not always well understood – even by health professionals.
Ryman Hashem presents his work on stomach models (known as phantoms) while participants create work about their experience of hyperemesis.
