The Adamson Collection at Wellcome Library
From November 2017 to March 2018 I researched the Adamson Collection at the Wellcome Library. Housed in the archives at the Wellcome, it is a collection of art made in a psychiatric hospital from the 1940s to the 1980s. As a culmination of my research I made a wall hanging, which includes Adamson's drawings of patients, his notes and painted representations of the the artists's works. I am working with the Wellcome to make a short film about the project which will be out soon. The Wellcome have recently acquired this piece for their collection.
