Cheltenham General: St Luke's Critical Care

Through Arts in Trust, we developed an art scheme for St. Luke’s, a new unit providing critical care facilities at Cheltenham General Hospital. Artists Heinrich and Palmer and Kirsty Brook were commissioned to produce permanent artworks. Heinrich and Palmer created a corner light box for a waiting area without any natural light. It depicts a window onto a natural landscape. On the window sill are objects reflecting individual relatives and staff's stories and comments. Kirsty Brook’s composite photographs reflecting on the history and local landmarks of the Cheltenham area are both stimulating conversation pieces and tools that can be used to motivate patients’ physical activity.
