St Nicholas Hospital : 2008

commission for entrance to new wing

in collaboration with the young people from Roycroft Clinic.

Marie has been working with the young people of Roycroft Clinic in Newcastle-upin-Tyne to produce a hand-made paper wall hanging for the entrance to the new wing. The main theme combined the idea of bringing the outside in with the Tree of Life. The young people produced their own hand-made paper which was incorporated into the piece as well using monoprinting techniques to produce their chosen images including footballers and musicians. The work is highly textured and includes buttons and fabrics in the final workwhich hangs above the sofas in the entrance area for visitors including their families to enjoy.
