Research Project: Ketogenic Diet to Manage Neuropathic Pain in Spinal Cord Injury - Kyle Mayr, University of Calgary
My senses were stimulated by the smells and sights of an active lab; Petri dishes of spinal cords, computer images of neurons, mice in cages and active testing were all about as Kyle Mayr spoke to me about his research on the Effect of a Ketogenic Diet to Manage Neuropathic Pain in Spinal Cord Injury.
I reflected on my own health journey; chronic pain, multiple surgeries and test subject in clinical trials, all as a result of autoimmune disease. As I contemplated my response to Kyle's research, I was impacted by the span of time as it relates to pain and recovery and how these relate to acute versus chronic conditions.
Juxtaposed to the microscopic view of my experience; Action is a macroscopic view of the complex beauty of Kyle's research. This painting seeks to show the explosion of neurons thrust into action in pursuit of delivering their message to enable mobility and thus decrease pain. I hoped to pay homage to the research while perusing the beauty of layering colours, and texture to tell this important story.
