J. Keith Cubbin trained as a Psychiatric Nurse at Shelton Mental Hospital from 1951 to 1954. He then joined the Royal Army Medical Corps as a National Serviceman and served out his time as Sergeant in charge of various departments at the Army Psychiatric Hospital, Netley Southampton. In November 1956 Keith returned to Shelton Hospital and as this book describes, worked as a Staff Nurse on Day and Night duty. During the years 1959/61 Keith completed his training in General Nursing at the Royal Salop Infirmary, Shrewsbury. During his career Keith held many senior Nursing appointments in Wolverhampton, Bolton, Sheffield and Neath and finally as a Chief Nursing Officer in West Yorkshire. Disagreeing with the idea of General Management and Privatisation Keith resigned from the National Health Service and was appointed a Health Services Manager in the Caribbean from August 1988 to August 1992. Keith now spends most of his time in quiet retirement on the Costa Blanca in Spain with his wife Rosie and is now writing his second book on the rest of his career.

"This exhibition consists of two related interdisciplinary and collaborative artist’s books, Darkfire and The Waiting Room, which explore the interface of visual art, design and creative writing. Each of these works is an unbound portfolio consisting prints by Sean Caulfield, accompanied by poems written by Jonathan Hart, with Susan Colberg designing a book consisting of a title page, text layout, colophon, and portfolio box. The exhibition is made up of a total 25 images and 25 pages of text with two title pages and two colophons. To initiate Darkfire and The Waiting Room, Caulfield, Hart and Colberg used themes and poetic images taken from Dante’s Inferno and Purgatory as a common start for each of their image/text pairings The intention was not to illustrate Inferno/Purgatory in the traditional sense, but rather to use it as a motivation from which they could find common formal and conceptual inspiration." -- publisher's website.
