I had previously reported on Paddy Hartley’s Face Corset. Scan has many pictures in an article written by Hartley himself.
“Since September 2003, Hartley’s practice has developed a separate and significant strand. In and through his work with Dr Ian Thompson in the Department of Oral Maxillofacial surgery at King’s College, London, Hartley has modified the basic face corset design to incorporate biomaterials for the treatment of skeletal facial conditions. Amongst other things, this shift in Hartley’s work poignantly undermines the alleged distinction between art and science, and between ‘cosmetic’ procedures and ‘reconstructive’ ones.”
