Cradle to Grave by Pharmacopoeia
Cradle to Grave explores our approach to health in Britain today and addresses some of the ways that people deal with sickness and try to secure well-being.
It was created by Susie Freeman, a textile artist, David Critchley, a video artist, and Dr Liz Lee, a general practitioner. The two lengths of fabric illustrate the medical stories of a man and a woman. Each piece contains over 14,000 drugs, the estimated average prescribed to every person in Britain in their lifetime, incorporated in 'pockets' of knitted nylon filament.
