Caring Work
12 'tablescapes' in colour that tell personal story of 12 Oxford University Hospital Trust (UK) staff working in the areas of Cleaning, Catering, Portering and Estates , derived from individual and group conversations.
12 'tablescapes' in colour that tell personal story of 12 Oxford University Hospital Trust (UK) staff working in the areas of Cleaning, Catering, Portering and Estates across the four Trust hospitals (John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital, Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre and Horton General Hospital). Derived from individual and group conversations, these stories demonstrate the ways in which the work of support staff in the Trust is the work of caring – for patients, the communities of staff and themselves. Together, they contribute to Our National Health: Hospital Stories, responding to the national 'prompts and provocations' offered by Kwame Kwei Arma, in the creation of a new performance.
The drawings appear as 12 printed vinyl table-top in cafes across the four hospital sites.
