A Packet A Week dress

Pharmacopoeia, by textile artist Susie Freeman and family doctor Liz Lee, draws attention to medical matters. The collection encourages people to think about their own medical and pharmacological history, and to reflect on their relationship with commonly prescribed drugs. It also reveals how dependent we are on pharmaceuticals.
