comprises 3 elements in green oak and is permanently sited in the grounds
of the Warneford Hospital The theme was Transitions and
Thresholds
4 other artists also worked on the project
Each worked with a different group at the hospital
Janine worked with the Highfield Child and Adolescent Unit of teenagers
who were at the hospital for a number of mental health problems like
anorexia, obsession compulsive disorders etc The images in the
work came from a series of workshops and a response to the concerns of
these young people. The sculpture is intended to be attractive
and show positive images as well as reflect fears in a symbolic way. This
project was run by Artscape who are advocates for the beneficial use of
the arts in mental health treatment and run many other projects in the
Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire areas.
