Salisbury in detail
New artworks have been installed in the recovery areas of Salisbury Hospital's Cardiac Suite.
The pictures around the unit are inspired by the book Salisbury in Detail produced by Salisbury Civic Society and were put together by ArtCare's exhibition organiser, Lesley Meaker.
Lesley said 'ArtCare wanted to represent the colourful and interesting aspects of Salisbury's varied architecture - old and new are shown side by side in this fascinating collection of images that depict the quirky and unique features of local buildings.'
Salisbury in Detail contains over 500 colour photographs of parts of buildings, and of related artefacts in the spaces between buildings. Its aim is to present a portrait of Salisbury by a slightly unconventional means, focusing on the individual details that are combined to form individual buildings, which then together create the city.

Natural colours for Pembroke
Photographs by Lesley Meaker and Penny Robbins, ArtCare's Artist-in-Residence were taken on Friday 28th October 2011 in Kew Gardens. The autumn colours are part of the new artworks that are displayed around Pembroke Outpatients and Ward areas.
These images are used as a core part of the art in the new Pembroke oncology unit.
With framed artwork, signage and ceiling tiles all combined to give the corridors and the journey into the unit a cohesive identity which leads patients to the waiting room.
