The National Eye Hospital 15-20 (L'Hôpital National des 15-20) in Paris' Bastille welcomed the British artist Fiona Grady as their artist in residence during the month of October 2024.
During her stay at the 15-20 hospital, Fiona collaborated with the staff of the Ophthalmology Consultation Center and the Retina Center, to make the place more hospitable and improve the daily lives of the people visiting or working there. Three large-scale artworks were installed by her on the glass areas in these services. Inspired by the themes of her art practice, she created stained glass effect windows, using coloured vinyl shapes.
Her artwork Coloured Droplets / Gouttelettes Colorées is installed in the patient waiting area for what is known as the 'injection room'. Here patients are administered treatments that are injected into their eyes. Based on the feedback from the staff, Fiona created a design made from colourful droplet shapes that slide down the windows. The artwork is an uplifting intervention for the clinical setting and an important enhancement to the space.
Thank you to Aslan for generously supporting this project.
