Photographed in a ward of an abandoned asylum in the UK. This asylum housed over 2000 patients in it's heyday. It has now been reconverted for housing use.

The hospital was the last great London mental health hospital, and the last of the cluster. This was a group of five institutions on a huge estate. The hospital was built in the compact arrow design with external villas.

I visited this complex over 25 times, sleeping in the buildings, running from security, visiting during the day and the night. It had sprawling corridors, male and female wards, a dentist surgery, a huge hall, storage, boiler rooms, a water tower, patient records and artwork and a vast network of tunnels. This artwork is from a ward which had many items and objects left behind but I was fascinated with the peeling paint in this room, as well as the tiny details such as the bow in the doorway.
