'The History of Psychiatry' Art Collection
Created in oil paint, collage and mixed media
This series is inspired by a visit to an exhibition at the Wellcome Library in London UK which looked at the past and present attitutes,the historic solutions and theories of mental health.
For the research of this work I visited Bethlem Hospital which started in London in 1247.
