Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Liverpool - 2016
The new Liverpool children’s hospital (BDP architects) opened in 2016 .The children moved from the old hospital next door, through a tunnel and into the light and airy atrium of the new building. The hospital sits in a park and the design from the start has been inspired by nature. All the bed rooms look down in to the park and the green planted roofs rise up from the ground integrating the building in to the land scape. A children and young people’s group has been involved throughout this design process.
For the past couple of years I have been the lead artist at the hospital creating art works, designs and graphics for the hospital environment – ‘I see these fantastical ‘beings’ ,birds and animals I have created inhabiting the hospital, as if the people have left and they are running, climbing ,sitting and roosting in the spaces.’
