Viewfinder Photographic Hospital Arts & Wellbeing Project, 2006
Lead Artist for Viewfinder, Barking, Havering & Redbridge NHS Trust (2006). Patient and staff led, this was a collaborative landscape photography project with patients and staff of a Cancer Ward using research guidelines that recommend the use of large-scale landscape artworks to help reduce patient anxiety levels in health care settings.
Where possible staff and patients and their relatives accompanied me to determine the exact location of their chosen view. Landscapes chosen included Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire, Hayle Beach, Cornwall, The Gower Peninsula and Norfolk Coast. The final large scale photographs are permanently installed in the unit in perspex frames along with simple captions stating the place of the view, why it was chosen and the name of the person selecting it.
