The Mother's Sitting Room

Screenprint with gold foiling and flocking
Signed on reverse

This print was created as part of a project working with images from the Grampian Hospitals Archive.
To create The Mother’s Sitting Room print, I combined an adapted version of the border from one of the hospital's annual reports, alongside a chair from an image labelled as the mother’s sitting room. The image showed a small room with armchairs clustered together. This quiet, unassuming image depicted a delicate, nurturing space, recorded and tucked away within the rest of the collection. Working from this, the final print combines screenprint, gold foiling and flocking. The flocked surface of the armchair allows a soft, tactile element to the print, articulating the gentleness of the original image.
