Davina Kirkpatrick
Davina Kirkpatrick, PhD: is an Artist, Lecturer in Medical Humanities and Visiting Research Fellow in Humanities and Performing Arts at the University of Plymouth. Her background is in site-specific public art, socially engaged practice, and collaborative inter-disciplinary projects that have involved national and international exhibitions, residencies and commissions. In 2009 she completed a MA in Multidisciplinary Print, which led to a PhD focused on grief, loss and living with the presence of absence. Her work responds to the need to find equivalent intensities to the intensity of loss. I am passionate about the spaces art and creativity can open that allow different, often intimate conversations to happen. Her post-doctoral Creative Economy Engagement Fellowship - Immersive Environments and Serious Play: New Initiatives for Patient Practitioner Interaction, explored pain and creativity. https://www.davinak.co.uk
