Carbis Ward, Camborne Redruth Community Hospital, Cornwall
Hospital Rooms have worked with Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust to create artworks for the inpatient mental health wards in Redruth and Dodmin, and to initiate a strategy to put culture and creativity at the heart of mental health care in Cornwall.
Anna Barriball is among one of the artists selected to participate in the project, for which, Barriball has created 'Canopy (blue sky)' which sits high up in the large communal area on Carbis Ward in Redruth. It was developed following workshops at Tate St Ives with patients and staff from the wards in Redruth and members of the public with lived experience of inpatient mental health services.
