Project context

Better Than Christmas

This painting was made for Better Than Christmas, an Arts Council England-funded participatory art project by James Connelly and Leila Redpath. In 2008, we surveyed 1,000 people, asking: ‘If you could have anything you wanted for Christmas, what would it be?’ This participant answered: ‘healthy organs and relief from living with diabetes’ Selected responses were transformed into paintings.
