The title of the exhibition, Prescriptions, was taken from one of Martha A. Hall's artists’ books.

These themes The exhibition featured around 90 artists’ books by national and international artists responding to themes of cancer, disability, mental health, surgery, recovery, medicine and wellbeing. The curated show revealed the therapeutic and empowering potential of art whereby artists’ books become an alternative kind of prescription. The exhibition featured 15 books by Hall, on loan from the University of New England's Maine Women Writers Collection, which were being shown in the UK for the first time. |
