Animated sequences co-created with NHS staff  that explore responses to wellbeing and burnout, produced as part of a 3 year residency with Torbay and South Devon Healthcare Trust.   

The animation soundtrack comprises of evocative field recordings made in and around Torbay Hospital and at locations in the Geopark. These have been manipulated and transformed by composer Sarah Owen https://sarahowen.co.uk to create a layered tapestry of sounds. 

Sound recordists: Roland Pyle, Tom Morris, Sarah Owen and Helen Snell
