I found it fascinating the way the GPs have to approach delivering bad news. It can be just as emotional for the doctor who has to tell the patient as it is for them. There was a great example I found of how to structure telling someone bad news. Some parts I felt to either relate very well to HIV or to be supportive and caring. Such as "...some treatment that will make you feel very unwell but you can get through it. " and "...you have a fight on and we can win."
This I feel works brilliantly in comparison to the previous attempts. I used cream tags and a soft baby blue to solve the problem and now want to attempt to try with text on the tags as this is a far more simplistic image to work with.
This silkscreen was developed from a photo I took of melting ice over the small grip bumps of the paving, that made me think of the nurse's spreading a positive attitude towards those with HIV. I added the postal tags as a symbol of the message being delivered. I had intended to explore putting text on the tags but felt that the image was busy enough. I like the way in which the image is more intense on the tags, given a sense that the medical staff know what thay are talking about in detail.
I do however feel that the image may be overly bold and dark for the viewing public that intended for.
Stamped HIV on the postal tags as a symbol of medical staff delivering the news. I will look at medical guide lines on how nurse's deal with delivery bad news. I have decided to look at nurse's after reading a bit on how an African nurses attitude towards her patient was then reflected by the rest of the community that she works in.
This didn't go quite as planned. I filled a condom with water to freeze hoping that it would take on the underneath relief, which was the word HIV. When I closed the freezer drawer of course everything shifted.
The end result when the condom was off was pretty, though little less of me learning to blow glass to create some sort of replica, I could not see where I could take this. However the spread of the melt water over the repetitive bump on the paving how positive word is spread. There was a study done in to how the attitudes of nurses towards patients with HIV reflected and influence the community around them.
