This two-phase commission for Nightingale Projects includes a series of window installations and wall drawings that bring life to three main corridors and the Thames Ward, an acute inpatient mental health ward. The window designs enliven the public corridors in the building, while the artworks on walls bring warmth to 'in-between' spaces that previously lacked character and ambiance. The installations aim to enhance the quality of the environment for the staff and patients who work and live in the wards.
Each of the hospital wards is named after famous rivers around the world. Grady's designs for the Thames Ward imagine the ripples, waves and flows of water running through the building using curved lines and alternating colour palettes to create movement and change around the site. The bright colours are inspired by her daily walks along the river Thames considering the ever changing tones of the water as it reflects the sky in golden yellow hues. Each area of the ward has a different colour palette that relates to the vinyl arcs in the surrounding corridor windows.
