Healing, Knowing, Seeing the Body
As part of her work on Junctures of a Haphazard Kind, Sydney Jane Brooke Campbell Maybrier Pursel sought to create new work that reflected her artistic style and practice, which often aims to educate viewers on complex social problems. By repurposing a functional game of Operation, Pursel transforms Carnie’s works into an interactive experience that teaches players about organ donation.
