Golden Section Publishing, 2010. 64 pp., 46 color and black & white illustrations., 106. This is Bill's first monograph. Care of Ward 81 is the first of two books on the subject. Located at the Oregon State Mental Hospital (the hospital where One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was filmed in 1976), Ward 81 was set up as a psychiatric ward to help women in need by providing them with medical attention and isolation. From the Introduction by Bill Diodato: "Entering Ward 81, I found each room vibrated with pastel colors, some walls even adorned with curiously upbeat art from the patients. All this beauty was contrasted with a dense chalky air, earthy odor and constant crackling of debris beneath my feet...In the end, I can't say where exactly the many sleepless nights I spent pondering what happened to the women of Ward 81 have taken me. I simply do not know. If, by chance, it helps even just one woman and her family, I rest my head with a renewed sense of hope."- Bill Diodato BILL DIODATO : Marge Casey06.29.2010Welcome Home DAVID LEVINTHAL : "XXX" series06.29.2010Mentioned in The New Yorker: Frames from Fiction: Sets, Dolls, and Nudes |
