ArtistStuart Whipps has been working with Grampian Hospitals Art Trust (GHAT) to explore the Foresterhill Health Campus and its links to the development of MRI technology, from the creation of Mark-1 through to the development of the new low field scanners now being trialled onsite. Stuart has also worked closely with the University of Aberdeen Biomedical Physics department, looking at research, artefacts, and the new technology to create a series of photographs on display in The Suttie Arts Space from 6 September to 14 December.
