GHISLAINE HOWARD


The maternity unit




In 1992 Ghislaine Howard was commissioned by Manchester City Art Galleries to spend four months as artist-in-residence at St Mary's Hospital maternity unit in Manchester, England.

The resulting exhibition, A Shared Experience, was shown at Manchester City Art Gallery in 1993 and at the Wellcome Foundation in London in 1994. For more documentation see A Shared Experience.
