Brick Sofa commissioned by Exeter Health Care Arts for the main entrance to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital at Wonford, Exeter. The work is part of a series of artworks commissioned to improve the environment of the Hospital and to promote a healthy lifestyle. The sofa is decorated with a pattern created out of flowers whose petals are tiny representations of the internal organs of the chest, nicknamed a lungflower. The work and its impact is part of an evaluation and research project being carried out by Arts for Health at the Faculty of Arts and Design, Manchester Metropolitan University.
