The Importance of Dualism

These book works concentrate on the complex emotions that accompany a medical diagnosis and the meaning-making potential of artists’ books. The text in these books comes from the illness narratives of my sister, who is a medical ethicist and chronically ill woman with multiple sclerosis, as well as interviews I conducted with scholars working at the intersections of art and medicine.
