Exploring Dreams

Project Artist(s): Di Pagan2008 to 2008
During November and December Visual Artist Di Pagan is working with cystic fibrosis patients who are having an extended stay in hospital, exploring their unique world of dreams. Each patient is being encouraged to develop their individual ideas and experiment with this abstract theme. One patient is working with her oxygen level graphs recorded during REM sleep as inspiration for creating artwork using printing techniques. Another patient is collaging outline figures to represent her family who appear silhouetted in her dreams. A selection of the finished pieces will be exhibited within the Manchester Adult Cystic Fibrosis Centre. Joan Fitzjohn, Senior Social Worker for the Manchester Adult Cystic Fibrosis Centre had this to say on the benefits to patients: 'It is great that our patients have the opportunity, if they wish, to explore creatively their thoughts and concerns which can be generated by their long term hospitalisation. Hopes, fears, frustrations and humour are expressed via the Arts and often this enables discussion of difficult topics.
