Commissioned by Guy's and St Thomas' Charity for the Evelina Childrens Hospital in London designed by Michael Hopkins Architects

The slide is a red gelcoat, the colour being integral with the resin. The cone has been sprayed with a twin pack fire resistant base coat and lacquer in a striated blend of violet and blues. I did this to suggest both the ocean which is the emblem of the ground floor of the hospital and the magic mountain which is the traditional place of healing. Red is the colour of life.
