The work entitled; C/O Ward 81 are images of a woman's ward located at the same hospital where One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was filmed. This ward was set up to help women in need and to provide them with isolation. Ironically, these institutions were not always the safest places for women... Ward 81 is gone, and metaphorically so are the stereotypes associated with women who are afflicted with mental illness. Within these photos, Bill has captured the beauty of this now decaying facility and the stories of the women who once lived in these rooms. Bill clearly presents the end of old, corrupt, poorly-run asylums and brings about a sense of closure for the women of ward 81.
