2005

• Found within:
• PA

Worlds Apart is a beautiful and poignant exhibition of 27 new photographs relating to the recent years that Chris Foster has lived and worked in Asia. Each of the four main hospitals in the Pennine Trust hosts a different series of works, that as a whole create a vibrant and original exhibition, linking each hospital to the others as well as the people and places depicted in the images. Hiroshima was the final location of a seven-year journey for Chris. The groups of photographs document the characters, colours, shapes and details that influenced his time in and around 2005, six decades after that infamous day when for us Hiroshima became a moment rather than a place. From the sombre outlines of Hiroshima's Memorial Museum to the vibrancy of a Japanese Autumn, these moments caught on film create a context for our understanding of a real place, heard of by everyone, visited by few, worlds apart from our own.

• Found within:

Lime first began working with patients in the CF unit during a year-long residency with artist Stuart Webster, who ran workshops once a week, exploring mosaic, photography, painting and other art forms. Patients were encouraged to continue working on their creative projects during the week when the Artist was not there. The residency culminated with a specially designed stained glass ceiling for the entrance corridor to the unit. Working with the artist it became clear that patients wanted direct reference to be made to their condition and a design evolved which is a semi abstract image of the heart and lungs.
