Having spent some hours at the Gordon and Leslie Diamond Healthcare Centre as a recovering cardiac surgical patient, David Robinson was inspired by the shared experience of fellow patients all gathered in the lofty and hushed place of waiting. As witness to patients’ imposed vigilance under the glacial passage of time, Robinson reflected upon the many people that gather under the spirit of human care; every living body a vessel upon uncharted waters.

Windward Calm by Robinson is a one-of-a-kind installation commissioned for the Gordon and Leslie Diamond Health Care Centre in Vancouver, Canada. Contact the gallery regarding art commissions by David Robinson.
