flowing walls

flowing walls: Public Art Commission for Walkergate Park Centre for Neuro Rehabilitation & Neuro Psychiatry, Newcastle, 2006. Three pairs of curving walls are lined with flowing grasses

inspiration: The courtyard theme of a walk along country lanes; the desire to create a sensory environment. The grasses are soft to touch and patients are encouraged to explore the sensory garden as an aid to promoting recovery

materials: The walls are fabricated in steel, filled with earth, irrigation piping, slate and planted with Carex grasses
