The Mosaic Project is an exciting creative activity designed by ORYGEN Health Arts specifically for short-term residents of the ORYGEN Inpatient Unit. Artist, Penelope Richardson created a large scale 2 panel design for the courtyard on the Inpatient Unit after consultation with the young people on the ward. Based on this design, Peer Support Workers will work with ceramic artist, Ursula Dutkiewicz, to learn how to make and decorate tiles. Together with inpatients they will use the design to complete the mosaic as ongoing activity at the Unit. The aim of the mosaic project is to promote ways for young people to maintain good mental health and decrease boredom for long term clients on the unit. As well as to enhance the environment for everyone who works there. |
