Simon Fieldhouse has exhibited extensively in Australia over the last 35 years and has been included in travelling regional exhibitions such as ‘The Phantom Art Show’. In 2018, Simon was commissioned by Sydney Local Health District in partnership with the RPA Institute of Academic Surgery to document their operating theatres. Here, Fieldhouse explored the unique relationship between art, science and medicine, which resulted in the solo exhibition ‘Art + Surgery’ that was shown at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney.
