lift: trees on the ceiling at york hospital

the final element of mine and rachel welford‘s commission to design and produce panels for lifts at york hospital was in the theatre lift. this takes patients to and from the operating theatre, usually on a bed and so in keeping with the intention of providing a welcome distraction for patients on a short but potentially stressful journey, this design is applied to the ceiling of the lift.

it continues the theme of native british trees that have a link with healing, in this case silver birch and the birds likely to nest in its branches, here represented by text.
