Royal Derby Hospital & Covid-19 Essential workers.

Thank you Air Arts for selecting my work ‘471 Gems’ for inclusion in your next exhibition at The Royal Derby Hospital titled ‘Connection’, running from 10th November 2022 to April 2023, exact location of work to follow including an online map and virtual 3D map. Covid-19 restrictions apply.

During Covid-19 Lockdown Joy monogrammed the names of 471 essential Erewash workers onto discontinued clothing labels. ‘471 Gems’ also includes used clothing labels, a ladies diamante belt buckle and even a gold button found down the back of a settee in Ireland. On closer inspection you will find nine toy soldiers and four Scouting Badges arranged as precious metals and decorative gems. Toy soldiers remind us of heroes fighting on the front line, the Promise and Friendship Badges speak for themselves and represent the kindness, help and support given by many during these difficult times.
