	SOUTH TYNESIDE DISTRICT HOSPITAL

In 2004, Bob was commissioned by South Tyneside Health Care Trust to produce designs for a mural, large wall panel, and a Perspex panel, to be installed in the newly refurbished Radiology Department.

THE MURAL

Working closely with radiographers, consultants and nurses, detailed drawings were produced for all three works.

His exhibition, "Olley on Aesop" was still running at The Customs House Gallery. The Radiology staff were all invited to view the display of the forty colourful paintings inspired by the famous fables of Aesop. It was eventually decided that this would be the preferred style for the mural and the subject was to be a jungle scene populated with wild animals, and on the floor, animal foot prints as directional indicators.

The wall area is 12.50m x 2.50m high.


	THE WALL PANEL The large oil painting takes the viewer, as a patient on the journey through the Radiography Dept. from the waiting area, where the painting is sited, through the treatment area to the changing cubicles.

The oil painting dimensions are 2.45m x 1.22m high


	THE PERSPEX PANEL The images of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, the German scientist who first discovered X ray with a primitive X ray tube. The transparent panel is sited in the reception area of the department. These images can only be viewed from the waiting area side of the panel.
