St. Helens Hospital. Ward Names Mosaic.
I did not know wether to put this post in community or history? So I put it in community because: This project seems to have ended up depicting the history of a community.
The NHS Trust at St. Helens Hospital have gone to great lengths to represent the community they serve in this project.
I did not have to run workshops or carry out consulations with users of the NHS Services in St.Helens as the Trust acted on their behalf. It saved me several research trips up there, but this was replaced by having to do eight drawings before the commitee was happy with the content and subject for the work. Working with a commitee gives a different end result compared to working with the public. I think the commissioner may feel they have more control.
I am pleased they are pleased if you see what I mean.
The content for this work has become alot more specific than I originally planned, due to design revisions. The result of this, is it has become probably the most intricate mosaic I have made. I asked for a 2 month extension on the time schedule, which has been granted.
My last mosaic was a challenge due its large scale. This will be a challenge due to its small scale. (not that it is small, the increase of detail without an increase in size is the challange).
