The project artist is Dr Jac Saorsa.
Jac studied Fine art at the New York Academy of art and completed a PhD in Philosophy and Contemporary Drawing Practice at Loughborough University in the UK. Since 2004 she has combined an international teaching career with research activity and in 2013 she founded The Broadway Drawing School in Cardiff.
Jac’s research interests are fundamentally interdisciplinary and rooted in the Medical Humanities. She has extensive experience in working with clinicians, patients and medical students both in the UK and in the US, and through using art practice as a productive way of understanding the existential experience of illness her work has been successful in raising awareness and increasing understanding of how ill-health can impact dramatically on patients’ lives. As a trained counsellor Jac is interested in the way language is used to explain experience, and in creating a visible interpretation where there may be no common language or words to convey the reality of living with ‘dis-ease’, her art practice communicates the tenuous boundary between intellect and emotion, pity and compassion.
Jac is a HEA Fellow and holds Honorary Research Fellowships at both Cardiff and Swansea Universities. She has twice been invited as a Visiting Scholar to the University of Texas Institute of Medical Humanities and was recently awarded a Wellcome Trust grant to spend a term as Research Fellow at Glasgow University Medical Humanities Research Centre.
Recent publications include Narrating the Catastrophe: An Artist’s Dialogue with Deleuze and Ricoeur (2011) Intellect Books, and Jac’s various research projects are documented online at:
