post-op pondering

I apologise for the lack of images recently, as my physical state right now isn't letting me do as much practical work as I would like!
I have been thinking a lot about the ideas and themes that run through my work, and the past week has enabled me to delve right into these and expand them more. I want to change the 2d aspect of my work, and look into the alternatives available to me. Therefore going into hospital I started thinking what objects, imagery or shapes are really poignant to my time there? One of the most interesting things I noticed was the corridors, particularly walking down to surgery. The fear being felt made this journey all the more difficult, and this never ending maze of narrow corridors with terrifying ordeals being undertaken behind the doors I passed really struck me. If I could find a way to mix this ultimate feeling of terror with the calming process and feel to my work I think I could produce an experience, not just an image.
