Throughout May 2023, Deborah Halpern was on site to undertake much needed repairs to Ophelia.

Deborah carefully, preserved as many of the original tiles and replaced lost tiles with colours as close to the original. Deborah used flexible adhesive and similar flexible grout, which was uniquely coloured using museum grade pigment.
