A new artwork decorates the cardiology department at St Peter’s Hospital.

Jeff Schmidt unveiled his artwork, which includes a vinyl designed by the artist and Kintsukuroi-inspired ceramic heart, once broken then repaired with gold. The artwork was commissioned with funding by patient support group ICDC Surrey.

Jeff’s work is inspired by his series of heart attacks in his forties. “This project, Cardiac Kintsukuroi, elevates the often unexpected and turbulent journeys our hearts travel,” he said.
