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.
The Significance of Organ Donation Memorial Artworks
We were invited to Donarte 2023 to give a presentation on the significance of organ donation memorial artworks.
Donarte 2023 marked the second global conference hosted in Messina, Sicily, from September 29th to October 1st. The event derived its name from the amalgamation of "donation" and "art". The collective mission was to facilitate the exchange of invaluable knowledge to foster progress in this vital topic.
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.
Introducing the Forget Me Not Remembrance Arch
The creative journey of the Forget Me Not Remembrance Arch began with an inquiry from Vikki Lloyd, Specialist Nurse for Organ Donation at Wigan Hospital. With only a suitable location in mind, the team envisioned an outdoor, free-standing sculpture that would capture the attention of hospital visitors and withstand the test of time and weather.

MEDWAY HERO BOARDS
A few years ago we designed and installed a very large wall artwork to recognise and commemorate organ donation at Medway Maritime Hospital in Kent. Dr Gillian Fargher, Chair of the Organ and Tissue Donation Committee, and also Regional Chair, along with Dr Paul Hayden the Clinical Lead for Organ Donation, wanted to remember every organ and tissue donor. And with a lot of determined effort on their part to overcome some difficult hurdles … the resulting artwork is here!
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.
