Back to RNOH to add a final touch to Level 3. At one end of the ward you pass a forest of ivy covered trees, with @JackieMorrisArt goldfinches and swallows overhead, and a carpet of bluebells beneath. At the other end of the ward, the landscape opens up to meadows and moorlands.

Our wish for @PICU_BCH was to create a calm and reflective space, a room that offers respite from the stress of the intensive care unit, a place that feels safe enough for families to be vulnerable or comforted for a while themselves, before returning to their child’s bedside 🏩

As 2019 draws to a close, am thinking back over a very special commission for the Birmingham Children’s Hospital’s PICU. It was such an honour to work alongside their amazing team, thank you to the incredible Gillian Campbell 💙 RGN/ RSCN (She/Her) for getting in touch to see if I could reimagine the space!

I love lettering projects, but I’m always so completely paranoid I’ve made a spelling mistake somewhere in there! 🖊👀 #theunwinding @unbounders @JackieMorrisArt John Mitchinson

Good to be back in ⁦@JackieMorrisArt⁩’s studio (magician’s lair), talking curlews & whimbrels, plotting & planning our Book of Birds. Those feathers she paints; hard not to believe you can reach out pick them right up off the paper...

It's publication day for The Lost Spells & also #nationalpoetryday2020. Huge thanks to all who've helped bring our book into being. We want it to be a field-guide to nearby nature, so there's a glossary identifying all the book's species (also turned into a poster for schools).

Then our book became a building. 3 hospitals in fact, all of them hospitals, starting with the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, which used the book's paintings & poems, re-designed by Alison O'Toole, to re-imagine what a hospital's corridors & waiting rooms might look like.
