'we want views of the outside, trees. flowers, fields etc. Choice of colours, original art work on walls. Overall design based on comfort, to encourage feelings of ease rather than tension and fear, not just a functional building'

gardeniaseeds will document a textile commission by artist deirdre nelson . The Leeds Teaching Hospital is currently constructing a new building for what will be the largest specialist cancer centre in Europe. A lead artist Linda Schwab, has been appointed to lead the artistic vision to create a unified and harmonious environment for patients and staff. Following patient and staff consultation, the main theme of 'garden' has been chosen for art work for the building.
deirdre nelson is an artist living and working in glasgow. Since graduatng from glasgow school of art in 1992 , she has pursued a parallel career in creating work for exhibiton and commission and in working as a tutor to various groups. Her art practice has evolved through experimenting with materials and methods of making in which hand work and craftsmanship provide both direction and context. Hand skills are transposed though the work in a humorous commentary on social and textile history within the contemporary gallery. Her textile work employs a variety of techniques and materials fusing traditional textile skills and contemporary reinterpretation through photography and digital manipulation. Recent work involves collaboration with the animators rm* which continues to fuse traditional skills with computer manipulation.
