EMMA LOUISE RIXON
PRECIOUS BEAUTY THERAPY
IN EMMA LOUISE RIXON’S WORDS...
PRECIOUS BEAUTY THERAPY IS A RISO-PRINTED COLLECTION OF DAILY NOTES FROM MY PHONE EXPLORING THE EXPERIENCE OF GOING THROUGH PBT, PROTON BEAM THERAPY, ILLUSTRATED BY PHOTOGRAPHS I TOOK IN HOSPITAL.
THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE THE ROYAL BLUE THAT I WOULD SEE BEHIND CLOSED EYES DURING PBT SESSIONS. THE BLUE FLASHING LIGHTS ARE A WAY OF THE BRAIN COMMUNICATING THIS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE, AND NOT A VISUAL ONE.
100% OF THE PROFITS OF THE BOOK ARE BEING SPLIT BETWEEN MACMILLAN AND TREKSTOCK.
WRITING AFTER TREATMENT WAS A RITUALISING OF HAVING TO GO TO HOSPITAL EVERY DAY FOR SIX WEEKS. TURNING IT INTO A CREATIVE PROJECT WAS BOTH A WAY OF PROCESSING THIS TIME FOR MYSELF AND TO GIVE BACK TO ORGANISATIONS WHO PROVIDE INVALUABLE HOLISTIC CARE TO CANCER AND BRAIN TUMOUR PATIENTS.”
