Re-Imagined Hospital Spaces, an exhibition by Joanna Holland
23 Nov 2023 – 15 April 2024
ATC Gallery
Joanna Holland is a socially engaged artist and curator. Like most people with chronic conditions, she has spent many hours in hospital clinics and wards. Recently she has captured and collected images of the spaces she has found herself in.
On returning to her studio, Joanna then re-imagined these hospital spaces. Bed blankets became cave systems and rolling hills, whilst privacy curtains became seascapes, skies and staircases.
Alongside the re-imagined spaces are works from a series of photographs entitled ‘cyanopic landscapes’. Oddly familiar and strange simultaneously, these 'uncanny' works invite you to consider our relationship with what is missing. They are part of a larger body of Joanna’s work which explores climate change, sea level rise, drought, biodiversity loss and intensive farming processes.
