Peepshow image makers Andrew Rae and Chrissie Macdonald have collaborated to create a mixed media installation designed to engage children as they travel from ward to operating theatre at a London hospital…

Commissioned by Vital Arts for the New Royal London Hospital and entitled A Journey Around My Pencil Case, the installation incorporates hand-painted elements, sculpture and bright wallpapers, the idea being that children can follow a line drawn along the route from ward to theatre, thus distracting them from their looming operation. Here are some shots of the work in situ:

You can also attach a laminated tag with your child's information to one end of the ribbon or string. If you are worried the string may break, attach a unique keychain or small luggage label to the pencil case that you can easily recognize; this option will only work if the case is of the zipper variety.
