An artist has unveiled an NHS-inspired installation made from hospital bed sheets as a memorial to those who have died in the Covid-19 pandemic.
Luke Jerram created the flag installation from 120 sheets. In Memoriam “commemorates all the people we have lost and is also a tribute to all the NHS and key workers”, the artist said. “I’m hoping the artwork will help some people with the grieving process,” he added. “There’s been a lot of grief.
The country is in a grieving process. I’m hoping this artwork may be of use to people to contemplate the pandemic but also to help with the bereavement.” Jerram said he bought the bed sheets – which resemble a medical cross logo from the air – and “stitched” them up.
