Shelley Wilson has worked with the scientific community (research laboratories, hospitals and academic institutions) for the past 10 years. This has resulted in collaborations between Wilson and various scientists, clinicians and has culminated in a series of exhibitions that have been shown at diverse venues (from Whitley’s Antrim, Guys Hospital, Royal College of Physicians, Science Museum, art galleries and art fairs). The topics have been wide ranging, from her award winning Wellcome Trust ‘Sci-Art 97’ scientific partner Prof. Arthur Crisp with their project ‘Female Puberty and a Search for an Identity’ that dealt with the complexities of psychological dilemmas of sufferers of anorexia nervosa, to her collaboration with Prof. David Hopkinson, whose research is to try and locate the genes that are responsible for facial features. The fruits of this last collaboration are: ‘Invisible Body’, ‘Family Faces’ and ‘Beneath the Mask’.
