The Diabetes Art Machine takes the experience of diabetes and turn them into works of art. The aims are to produce art to engage the public with some of the issues involved in living with diabetes and to explore the use of art to facilitate exchange of information.
How I felt about being told I need insulin injections 4 times a day. What I transferred on the walls.

I will make works of art in response to the experience of diabetes. The artwork will include drawn and object stop motion animations, drawings, cartoons, sculptures, and organised drawing performances that will construct a narrative about living with diabetes today. Soundscapes responding to the visual artwork will be produced and integrated into the finished work. You can read more about the intended outcome here.
