Our first SenseCheQ Art Workshop held on 31st January 2025 hosted with Penny Brohn UK, the cancer health and wellbeing charity, was a great success!
Patients living with CIPN were encouraged to express their lived experiences through art, enabling the participants to create striking modern interpretations of CIPN from a personal viewpoint.
We would like to thank all involved, our willing volunteers, hosts , our art facilitator Jeanna Olsen, and organiser Alison Needler for creating a memorable day, giving us as researchers so much to think about and a striking gallery of works.
Below are examples of the finished works with supporting commentary. The full gallery can be found HERE.
CIPN in my feet makes it feel as though I’m on a bed of nails but when I walk it’s like treading bare foot on stones sometimes. Then other times it’s like I’m on a bed of jelly and lose my balance!
My experience of CIPN is that it is quite an isolating condition to have – I find other people don’t show much interest and don’t take it very seriously. In some ways I have adjusted to it and have got used to not having such fine sensation in my fingers anymore.
The burning sensation of my feet with a fan cooling them.
