COMMISSIONED BY DORSET COUNTY HOSPITAL

FOR THE RESPIRATORY WARD

  • 4 stand-alone pieces (housed in the waiting room and adjacent consultation rooms)

  • 6 pieces that form the illustrated corridor, a wordless narrative that responds to the concept of breathing

The exhibition seeks to visualise the concept of breathing. The lungs are explored as a tangible motif to make visible the breathing mechanism.

The illustrated corridor uses the visual metaphor of breathing as sailing to provide a new perspective. The 6 pieces work together in a sequential way to tell a story, reflecting the surroundings in a creative and innovative way, perhaps leading to new understandings and perspectives.
