We were briefed to create artworks to enliven corridors for two separate departments at Bradford Teaching Hospitals but for each to have their own identity, complement colour schemes and fit around existing handrails, information posters, etc.
CALMING ART FOR CRITICAL CARE – THE TRANSFORMATION
In the wake of the Covid pandemic, the tireless Medway Hospital staff found themselves as drained as the uninspiring environment that surrounded them. After enduring demanding hours in the ICU and HDU units, a wave of change was required in order to breathe new life into the atmosphere for both the dedicated staff and visiting families.
WILDFLOWERS FOR WAYFINDING – TEAMWORK
Behind the Scenes - Medway DNA Artwork
During last summer we were creating this project that includes a 2.5m tall revolving DNA sculpture and accompanying wall artworks to promote clinical research. The installation was originally planned for the end of October but unfortunately because of COVID-19 the artwork was sitting in storage until we were able to travel down to Medway.
RAINBOW CARING TREE
Over the last year this daily fight that is COVID-19 has placed huge amounts of stress on our frontline clinical care teams. It is clear that hospitals are desperately trying to provide places of sanctuary, with calming environments and art, to improve wellbeing and thereby relieve the pressures on staff in these difficult times.
