The UC Health Clinics facility is located within the Canberra Specialist Medical Centre at UC. The facility provides allied health student-led services for cancer patients during and post cancer treatment. We have been engaging with our patients in this new space to seek feedback and they have suggested some wall treatments that might inspire their journey or at the minimum, brighten up the spaces where the services are provided. Rather than painting the walls a bright colour or wallpapering, I thought it would be worth finding an artist that might be able to do something vibrant and interesting in this space.

The two spaces are the reception area and the rehabilitation gym.

Chose to depict indigenous botanicals (Bush Medicine) which were used for health and healing within the work. These includeD kangaroo apple (Solarium laciniatum and Solarium aviculture), snake vine (Tinospora smilacina), billy goat plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana), Blackwood acacia melanoxylon, tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia), eucalyptus and bubble lily.

Colour pallets are chosen to be bright but calming - green and earthy tones at the entrance and bright but cooling tones int he gym.
