Our Shared Journey
As we move through life our experiences form and shape us. We grow through times of trial and suffering as well as those of peace and rest. We need others alongside us, sharing our pain and joy, sharing our journey.
Our Shared Journey is designed to flow along a corridor space within a local hospital. These images show impressions of the artwork after installation. It would flow alongside the viewer as they find their way through the hospital, identifying with their journey and the broad new horizons that appear one moment only to be replaced by restriction in the next. The ever-changing landscape reflects our changing circumstances and encourages us onwards through difficult times.
The layered lines suggest distant horizons and elements of the landscape which remind the viewer of their own experiences of the natural environment. This requires engagement from the viewer and therefore provides a distraction from their current situation.
The complete image comprises of twelve panels, each measuring approximately 1m x 2m. Printed upon a vinyl substrate, it would comply with the required health and safety and fire regulations of a clinical environment and be easy to clean.
