Ryde’s ED and Critical Care Unit get a splash of colour
Ryde Hospital has acquired three colourful Aboriginal artworks by Queensland artist Jordan Roser. Jordan is a proud Bigmanbul man who is a third-generation Aboriginal artist. He aims to continue his family’s legacy in the arts and promotion of his culture through contemporary designs and themes. His work reflects the modern experience and emotions of the new generation of Australian Aboriginal people through colour and storylines. Ryde Hospital acting general manager Matthew Noone said Ryde Hospital is delighted with artworks which have enhanced the environment in the ED and Critical Care Unit. “These colourful and creative paintings are intended to make our clinical environment more cheery and comfortable, especially for patients and family members from an aboriginal background,” Matthew said.
