As the news changes rapidly during the pandemic, I am also seeing creativity bloom. With all the restrictions of isolation and social distancing we are all being creative.
I’ve just completed a mural for the Nutrition Department at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Adelaide. I focused on pastel colours and organic shapes. Many of their patience would find strong, bright colours a sensory overload and it was important to create a welcoming space while patience wait for their appointments.
During my artist-in-residence at Cardijn College, the students covered their courtyard in colour. This project has been unique because, not only did I have time to brainstorm with students, run aerosol workshops, and install the mural with them, but the students also took the lead in requesting funding and permission from the school leadership.
