Mandy McIntosh’s web based work Sun Bed City(2001-2008) explores the proliferation of tanning salons in Glasgow and Tokyo. She revisits this work with the graphic slogan "All our beds have been re-tubed" producing three new digital drawings which reference Egyptian gods of sun and death, and Zita Farrelly, a 29 year old mother of two, who tragically died of skin cancer after using sun beds twice a day for seven years.
