As a little girl we didn’t have TV and so when we visited kids with one I was totally intrigued!
Now with new media capability at my finger tips – I can’t help myself and have to take my art into this world of colour and movement an immersive environment.
Wanting to share this process – for some purpose – I floated the concepts of an immersive ‘Transmedia Story’ to bring the ‘Beach to the Hospital’ – to allow the long term Patients to hear the waves – the call of the sea gulls to help and enable their well being and recovery!
We filmed
We painted
We floated our boats
we took an alcove that previously had only been used for a computer station and loaded light – sound – music and colour –
we collaborated with musicians – Elena Kats-Chernin and her ‘Dance of the Paper Umbrellas’ took us to another place – gorgeous music to calm and heal!
This was the Studio Process!!
adding colour and space
to paper
giving options of work to select
a final stage
Fills the Ward with life!!
Checking the timer the other day on site – I spoke with an old gentleman – quietly drinking his coffee and he informs me ‘….. that he had been to the beach 5 times already that morning ….’ and it was only just on 10am, so I felt we had achieved our goals!!
We are now working on the next round of film – to add variety!!
