crisis”

"As an
artist who often uses furniture and everyday objects in my work, for
this print project I felt it appropriate to make a specific reference to
beds. The image is created using bed springs that have been removed
from the confinement of the metal bed frame and placed on a sheet of
paper. I then sprayed over the springs with a spray can to create a
negative image to achieve a photogram or an X-ray-like image. For the
final lithographic print, I decided to use blue ink in order for it to
resemble a photographic cyanotype print. I was very happy to be invited
to contribute to this print project to support the NHS, such a necessary and worthy service." - Mona Hatoum © Mona Hatoum. Courtesy Worton Hall Studios

"The 70th anniversary is an opportunity to appreciate the
vital role the NHS plays in people's lives, and to recognise and thank
the extraordinary NHS staff who are there to guide, support and provide
care, day in, day out. We hope that this portfolio is a fitting tribute,
and the funds raised continue to support the incredible work of the
service for years to come." - Imperial Health Charity
