Illustrations for health. I was approached by the team at the NICU in Leeds General Infirmary to produce large scale wall vinyl’s to brighten up the wards. There are five wards in total, all are in the process of being installed. Stay tuned as I update with the rooms and corridor designs as they are installed! You can see more rooms + parts of this project all over my website.

The children have to stay in the hospital overnight while the parents normally have to return home. This can be a nerve-wrecking time, being apart from their newborns. Muslins cloths can be used as a bonding tool in this situation, the parents can leave their scent on the muslins which can be used to comfort and clean the babies when the parents are away. I thought that taking the illustrations around the rooms and printing them on to muslins would be a way for the patients to connect with the illustrations on the ward, but also as a way to feel comfort in an anxious time.
The repeat pattern is also coloured and has been put on the corridors of the ward.
