Client: Whittington Health Trust
Location: Wood Green Community Diagnostic Centre, The Mall, Haringey, London, Uk
Date: 2023
Brief and how I responded: The brief was to 'bring the outside in' to the underground level of a new medical centre with no windows. I used colour sensitively to the needs of the environment and users to compliment the existing space, calming cool colours with pops of complimentary warmer tones.
Creative Process: I drew on location in the local area, along the River Lea and Tottenham marshes. I then hand lino printed the various design elements which were then digitally assembled and printed as large scale vinyls.
Impact: Shortlisted for the Best Collaborative Arts Project in the Building Better healthcare awards 2024
Quotes from the clients:
“We had the pleasure working of with Phoebe to develop a series of murals for the new Lower Ground Floor of Wood Green Community Diagnostic Centre. Alongside the Project Team, we were determined to collaborate with a local artist to 'bring the outside in' to create a calming environment for patients, staff and visitors of the centre. Phoebe was a delight to collaborate with at every stage of the process (shortlisting, initial designs, incorporating feedback) and always kept our aim with the artwork in mind.Phoebe fulfilled the brief and beyond by creating mesmerising landscapes with her distinctive artistic style. In the few weeks since the installation, patients, staff and visitors have praised Phoebe's work and we are delighted that her creation will continue to uplift those who enter the space.If you have the opportunity to work with Phoebe, you can expect a collaborative approach and a wonderful outcome!”
