Artist Gemma Anderson is collaborating with forensic psychiatrist Dr Tim McInerny to create 16 life-sized, etched portraits of psychiatric patients and psychiatrists at Bethlem Royal Hospital, The Maudsley Hospital, and other psychiatric units around London.

Each portrait is drawn directly from life onto the copper etching plate and the narrative imagery is inspired by dialogue with each individual. The portraits concentrate on relating psychiatric ideas and theories to the individual's personal history and identity.
