Familiar Still, 2023

Digital prints, acrylic and gesso on canvas, vinyl on- and embedded in- whiterock cladding
Commissioned through Vital Arts for the Clinical Assessment Units, 5th and 7th Floor, St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London

Freya Stockford has created an installation that runs through two floors of the new Clinical Assessment Units (CAU) at Barts. The unit serves oncology  patients who make multiple visits, so Vital Arts sought to create an environment that was reminiscent of home, with images of house plants, book shelves, cut flowers, vases, water jugs, fruit, coffee mugs,  and other items. 

Through a series of paintings, prints and designs on, and embedded into, the whiterock wall cladding, Stockford has captured fleeting but familiar and gentle scenes, encouraging quiet moments of reflection.
