Perceptions of Pain
photographs by Deborah Padfield texts by Professor Brian Hurwitz & Doctor Charles Pither ‘Although we all experience pain it remains extremely difficult to define or communicate.’ Perceptions of Pain is a moving and startling collection of images that explores the interface between doctor and patient, photographer and subject, maker and viewer, science and art. Additional texts by Professor Brian Hurwitz, Doctor Charles Pither and Deborah Padfield examine cultural and medical aspects of pain from multiple perspectives, questioning our assumptions about the pain experience and its place within the medical setting. Deborah Padfield’s work has already received considerable acclaim within the medical community and is beginning to be integrated into the practice of many doctors working with chronic pain sufferers. ‘Deborah Padfield’s remarkable photographs take us on a journey into pain. Her pictures intrigue, fascinate and repel in equal measure; they are sure to stimulate discussion not just among those who work with people in pain but also among those photographers attempting to apply imaginative insight to the human condition.'
