Digital art-making to befriend a recovering body: Susannah Morrison talks with Amanda Levey

JoCAT podcast host Amanda Levey talks to Susannah Morrison about their article published in JoCAT in September 2025 entitled Using digital art to explore my experience of sepsis: An arts-based autoethnographic inquiry, to coincide with Sepsis Awareness Month. The conversation explores Susannah’s experience of this life-threatening medical condition and how she navigated the diagnosis and treatment. They discuss the resulting post-sepsis syndrome and how she was able to utilise creative arts therapy skills to support their own recovery and to process their experiences during the hospital stay. They also talk about how digital art-making was particularly suitable and rewarding in this situation and how it could be extended for use in the creative arts therapies for people recovering from such medical conditions.
