In a new partnership between the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) and St Andrew’s Toowoomba Hospital, the art exhibition Undercurrent: Arts and Wellbeing is delivering positive impacts for both patients and staff.
Escaping the Cycle is a sculptural work with different elements and a steam-punk aesthetic, with cogs, coral-like colourings and the head of an infant peeking out of a zipper. Hobbs says the work ‘is from a clinician’s point of view, and it’s about sometimes feeling like you’re just a cog in the machine, trying to figure out where your place is in that healthcare continuum’.
