This sculpture sits beside the main entrance to Nelson Public Hospital.



Art for Health.
Sculptor – Grant Palliser


The following is from The Prow website
“In 2003 Palliser created a sculpture for the main entrance of the Nelson Hospital. ‘Art For Health' encourages patients and family to maintain a positive attitude. It spirals upwards, portraying the idea of getting better and leaving the hospital due to the improvement of health. It consists of stainless steel triangular modules; each side symbolising a health model where three significant features relate to patient's improvement in health. Side one represents the hospital and its infrastructure such as the doctors, nurses and equipment. Side two represents the patients themselves and side three portrays the family/whanau of the patients who visit and later care for the patients, when they are discharged but still recuperating.”
