The Lancet Haematology

“With any commission our intention is to alleviate anxiety and to help draw focus away from the body, stressful treatments, and hospital visits and towards the joy found in everyday life. We commissioned Sabine Beitzke (a freelance artist) for the procedure room because we felt her style, which explores the escapism offered by the natural world, and its capacity for healing, were particularly apt for this windowless space. Similarly, we felt that the soft, delicate lines of the artist’s hand-drawn imagery, which was translated into vinyl, would act as an excellent counterpoint to the clinical and stark space.”
