Malcolm Cooke had the originals works scanned at high res and the digital files were then enlarged to fit the intended area. The work was then fabricated in floor to ceiling wall vinyls for the 12 Isolation bedrooms and the 28 inboard bedrooms.

Commissioned by Health and Arts Research Centre Inc (HARC) for the Westmead Hospital Redevelopment program.

These works are for the inpatient bedrooms in the Cystic Fibrosis Unit, Westmead Hospital. Owen works were inspired by the patients, staff and users of there favourite places

This series of watercolours, created by artist Owen Thompson, was developed in collaboration with the staff and clients of the Cystic Fibrosis Specialist Services. Participants met with the artist through online workshops and sent him images of their favourite places.

Fourteen originals watercolours, size 54cm x 65cm, were enlarged to 3 m wide by 2.55m height and printed in vinyl, creating a natural scene for 29 patient rooms of Level 5 Cystic Fibrosis and Respiratory IPUs.

The original works make a beautiful collection of framed 80cm w x 70cm h. Plexiglass was used instead of glass for safety and infection control prevention. Frames are black painted wood frames (cleanable). Works are sealed in the frame.

The proposal for the originals, agreed by users, was to install the works in the CFSS, preferably in the Outpatient areas.
