Commissioned by the Christie NHS Foundation Trust for their Proton Beam Therapy Centre in Manchester, the piece is inspired by the tranquillity of a forest. Winter Garden is a bespoke artwork designed to give visitors a moment of unexpected escapism.
Motion lights are programmed to conjure illusions of flickering sunlight through trees, creating areas of warmth and shade and mimicking the experience of sitting beneath the canopy. Creating a serene and peaceful environment where viewers can reflect and breathe, the installation offers a moment of escapism and provides the space with a unique identity that continues to flow through the building.
Made up of a cluster of pyramidal forms, Winter Garden plays with light and perforated materials to evoke a sense of being amongst nature.
