An exhibition that brings together art and medicine to reflect on the human heart.

Created by artist Sofie Layton and bioengineer Giovanni Biglino, and inspired by patients with heart conditions, their families and clinicians, this exhibition features 3D printing, digital animation, textiles, sound and sculpture.

The artworks and the stories that influenced them offer insight into this extraordinary organ, which is both the engine room of our body and a symbol of human emotion.  

The Heart of The Matter was conceived by artist Sofie Layton and bioengineer Giovanni Biglino, and developed with health psychologist Jo Wray. The work is produced by Susie Hall (GOSH Arts), Nicky Petto and Anna Ledgard in association with Artsadmin, and is supported by the Wellcome Trust, the Blavatnik Family Foundation, Above&Beyond, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. With thanks to RapidformRCA and 3D Life Print.
