Commissioned work for Springfield Health Centre and Community building, London.
I collaborated with the architectural design team, consulted with professional bodies and ran workshops with the community art group, and members of the wider community, to explore the ideas of universal 'design forms and symbols'. Due to the mix of communities attending my workshops, my research continued looking at wider design forms and symbols, in global cultural and community environments.
I was particularly interested in the use of elements that relate and reflect a humanistic approach, to ideas of social and material culture, meaning concepts relating particularly to articulating human identity, presence and atmosphere.
The environmental changes within the building's interior and exterior, was also an important element and the emotive values and perception of colour within public spaces.
This research led to a series of workshop sessions with the local community, which culminated in developing large-scale designs for printed textile hangings.
