I am a printmaker / artist who specialises in Drawing, and Reportage. The current reportage project is War Art & Surgery

"War Art & Surgery" is a World War 1 centenary project which refers to the archive of Henry Tonks' First World War pastel portraits which record the pioneering facial reconstruction of wounded soldiers by surgeon Harold Gillies.

As a response to the Tonks pastels over 150 drawings have been produced representing military surgeons in training and the rehabilitation of recently wounded soldiers on their road to recovery. The drawings reflect the training and expertise of clinicians and the heroism of those who survived life-changing injuries.

The project exhibition War Art & Surgery can be seen at The Hunterian Museum, The Royal College of Surgeons of England, 35 - 43 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London WC2A 3PE until February 14th 2015.

The accompanying publication "War, Art and Surgery: Rehabilitation and Reconstruction in the work of Henry Tonks and Julia Midgley" edited by Samuel J.M.M. Alberti, is now available.
