Theatre 37
Limited Edition Signed, Hardback Book
The residency within the Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh began following a chance encounter with Mark Hughes, Consultant Neurosurgeon, at the opening of my degree show last year.
In October 2024 I observed my first surgery in Theatre 37. Over the following months, I attended theatre weekly, witnessing close to twenty complex operations ranging from spinal surgery to craniotomies. Some surgeries lasted a couple of hours whilst others took all day and involved collaboration from surgeons across multiple specialities.
After observing only a handful of operations it became clear the message I wanted to portray: in an exceptionally sterile and clinical environment, what stood out to me was the humanity, compassion, and teamwork.
It was a privilege to witness this side of medicine, and I have taken great pride capturing the inner workings of the operating theatre through the drawings that you will find in this book.
This book is a compilation of 58 drawings completed in theatre from life, with no additional work in retrospect.
Each copy will be signed and numbered.
