ENTRANCE MURAL FOR ADULT ACUTE UNIT, CALLINGTON ROAD, BRISTOL

The Adult Acute Unit at Callingdon Road, Bristol deals with patients admitted with acute mental health problems.

The ideas for the mural came out of my sessions with the patients: many said that they wanted a simple uplifting image, something that links them to nature and that is calming. Cherry blossom was mentioned independently several times, and without any prompting from me - maybe because it was spring at that time!
