  • Angela Palmer’s Statement

    My work is largely a result of collaborations with scientists, and I am currently working on over 2,500 CAT scans of an Egyptian child mummy from the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.

    The image shown here was created to raise awareness about asthma and, in particular, the dust mites' attack on our lungs. Between clear sheets of perspex are exactly 297 dust mites, the average number per gram of dust. But you can see nothing whatsoever. I wanted to emphasise their powerful and potent armour - their cloak of concealment. I am now investigating another lethal but largely invisible enemy whose devastation reaches far beyond damage to the lungs - air pollution.
