still from Crowning Glory, by Ethel Ryder

Ethel Ryder: Crowning Glory

Ethel and the ladies in the bay wanted their hair washing, cream on their faces and girly talk about getting ready to go out on the town! We had loads of fun making this film, with the help of volunteers, nurses and the ward clerk. When the ladies were done they had their photograph taken together.

Paul Garrity: Silence is Golden

Paul, because of his cancer had a tracheotomy and was unable to speak without being in considerable pain. He was determined to make some work for Rosetta Life. He wanted to talk about his frustration when trying to communicate. We decided the best way forward was to make a text piece.
