Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, Oxford, 2007
This public
art project was aimed at improving the visual effect in the two main corridors
of the new hospital wing through the installation of a series of large scale
abstract photographic images printed and mounted on aluminium. The images
were to offer visual stimulation and provoke thought. The exact nature of
the images was determined by conversations with both staff and patients, offering
hospital users a chance to be involved in the creation of the artwork, anchoring
it in its surroundings. The images took everyday recollections and elevated
them to a permanent visual display to evoke the intrinsic value that is often
not recognised in the rush of daily life.
