Sal Hunter

I’m a researcher with the Cambridge City over 75s Cohort population study, known as CC75C, based in Cambridge UK. I can usually be found next to a microscope looking at how the brain changes as we age. It is no surprise that the microscopic invades my artwork. I use various techniques and processes, from the automatic surreal to highly structured design, depending on what I am thinking about. My drawing is often a meditation on my science work and is a way to play with ideas.
