To Everyone
Hello my name is Jade,
I am a forth year Graphic design student at the university of western Sydney Nepean, in New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.
For the past six months I have been working on creating a relationship between design and colour therapy with the hope of establishing an effective method of alternative healing with in a hospital environment.
I am currently engaged in a special program that gives students from my course the opportunity to produce paintings and photography for our local hospitals and medical centres, the aim of this program is to change the sterile and bleak atmosphere that is commonly experienced in most hospitals and through the art work create a worm and nurturing environment where the patients can escape there illness for moments at a time.
I apply the methods of colour therapy to my works in the hope that they may ease the experience of the patients and help them to deal with their circumstances.
I believe that this program has helped to a certain degree but I want to take the concept to a new level and what I propose to do for my fourth year project is design the entire interior of a room or space, from the ceiling to the floor, I want to create an oasis where patients can escape any sadness or fear and just relax.
I want to take away their pain and replace it with a visual stimulus of calming colours and shapes.
My good friend Nicole is battling cancer as I type this, she needs a bone morrow transplant, she hates going to the hospital to have treatment and sometimes cries for hours afterwards. She associates everything painful and sad with Hospitals, like most patients.
I want to try to help Nicole and everyone else who suffers the way she dose, I want to make a difference and through this room I hope to achieve that.
I am writing to you today for advice and or any opinions you may have regarding my 4th year major project.
If anyone has any comments, ideas, suggestions or if any one is interested in my project please contact me at JADEAMY@yahoo.com i would love to hear from any of you, esspecially if there is anything inparticular that you would like to see change with in a hospital environment.
Yours sincerely Jade Tomaszewski
