As artist in residence at the Thackray Medical Museum, Leeds in 2016 I produced View to the Past, an art installation consisting of five custom-made virtual reality viewers, placed at strategic points throughout the museum and three augmented reality postcards for sale in the shop. The commission brief was to reflect two significant but underrepresented periods in the building’s history; its original use as the Leeds Union Workhouse and its time as the East Leeds War Hospital during World War I (WWI).
