Connect: The public art programme for the redevelopment of the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton.
No full textCONNECT was delivered by Willis Newson and University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust in partnership with 24 leading national and international artists, local artists, arts organisations, and community members. The programme comprises more than 150 original artworks which ‘Connect with Place’, celebrating Brighton, Sussex, the coast, and the unique character and cultures of the communities who live here.
This celebratory arts programme supports the wellbeing of patients, visitors and staff by making the hospital feel more welcoming, helping people find their way round, providing distraction and enjoyment, and ensuring people feel cared for.
The commissioned artworks permeate every area of the building from the main welcome space to waiting rooms, quiet rooms and clinical spaces. To create a distinctive identity for the hospital and a lasting legacy of accessible, high-quality public art for the city, county and community.
The Waiting Rooms Photography Project:
Willis Newson in collaboration with Brighton-based Photoworks and the University of Brighton commissioned four photographers to deliver a permanent collection of photographic artworks sited across 36 public waiting rooms within the new redevelopment of Brighton’s Royal Sussex County Hospital.
Celine Marchbank, Murray Ballard, Zoe Childerley and lead artist Helen Sear were selected to photograph Brighton, the coast, the South Downs, and Sussex. The pictures aim to be a source of contemplation and pleasure for patients, visitors and staff across the 36 waiting rooms in the Louisa Martindale Building.
Celine Marchbank - Brighton Portfolio: Taking the theme of ‘Brighton’, Marchbank has created a series of photographs that evoke and celebrate the sense of place that home brings.
For this two year community-engaged project, Marchbank worked with over 30 local residents - including patients, ex-patients, staff, volunteers, carers, visitors and family members – who shared stories of what home means to them and invited Marchbank into their homes to capture the spirit of these stories. Her aim was to create a body of work that evokes and celebrates the sense of place that home brings, to capture a feeling of familiarity, wellbeing and comfort. She wanted the lives of the local residents and hospital users to fill the hospital walls to create a warm and human atmosphere and for the community to feel part of the work
Exploring key factors sustaining micro and small food, wine, and hospitality firms through the COVID-19 crisis
Get PDFAbstract Purpose – The purpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of how micro and small firm owners/managers cope with an extreme event, as this has implications on how firms make decisions. The study considers self-efficacy and stakeholder theory as tools to gain more in-depth knowledge. Design/methodology/approach – The perspectives of owners/managers of 308 micro and small firms operating in the food, wine and hospitality industries in Italy, one of the most affected nations, were drawn through an online questionnaire. Findings – The importance of determination, passion, family support and a sense of responsibility towards internal and external stakeholders emerged as fundamental factors helping firms confront the crisis. Five theoretical dimensions that help explain how firm owners/managers make decisions to safeguard their firms during the COVID-19 crisis are identified. Three of these, “motivational”, “stepping up” and “firm-based”, are directly associated with tenets of self-efficacy theory, and two, “human-moral” and “entity-based”, with stakeholder theory. Further complementing this second contribution, a theoretical framework underlining conceptual and practical implications is proposed. Originality/value – The study delves into the challenges and survival of a key group of firms facing an extreme crisis. The identified dimensions provide useful conceptual depth and practical insights that, together, form part of a proposed framework. For instance, the “human-moral” dimension reflects upon aspects that have wider implications, notably, for firms’ employees and the wider society

TRANSCRIPT/ Surplus Cinema: Feminisms and filmmaking in the context of Greece and intertwining diasporas.
Get PDFThis text is a discussion on diasporic feelings and collective filmmaking with the organisers of the 3 day film program - 'Surplus Cinema: Feminisms and filmmaking in the context of Greece and intertwining diasporas'.
It is a polyphonic meditation on the personal histories of our individual and combined research on what it means to be a diasporic artist living in Europe today.
It was published in ARTWORKS publication which consists of five issues, each one documenting every cycle of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Artist Fellowship Program implemented over the years of 2018-2023.It features all the awardees -390 creatives who work in the visual arts, in moving image, dance and curating- and describes all the activities and events that took place throughout the course of each Program. It also includes essays, reflecting on and/or inspired by the fellowship, written by ARTWORKS collaborators and other arts professionals. The five issues complement each other with the aim of mapping the local contemporary art scene by highlighting its promising art force, the wide range of the differences and convergences among the various forms, aesthetic values and thematic references that drive artistic creation

On Paper, Lines & Puffs of Language
Get PDFThe film "On Paper, Lines & Puffs of Language" is a short film exploring connections between paper, language and space. It was created in collaboration with Jasper Fell-Clark, through funding from The Box Plymouth's Artists Development Bursary scheme. The Box awarded six development bursaries to artists from across the South West in 2021. The artists used the bursaries to support ongoing or existing projects and/or research.

300-word supporting statement for ‘On Paper, Lines & Puffs of Language’ [video]; ‘Little Clouds: Speech Balloons & the Air of Language’ [book chapter]; ‘Remembering Air’ [works for an exhibition]:
This body of work further explored my interest in orality, breath and air, through a repositioning of the subject within an ecologically-conscious practice. Both studio-practice and writing examined the speech balloon and the cloud, unfolding our existing understanding of each, through a detailed breakdown from multiple viewpoints. The work was underpinned by the theories of ecologist/philosopher David Abram, concerning speech as shaped-air and the dichotomy of writing’s significance in ‘civilizing’ humans, whilst simultaneously contributing to our distancing from the natural world. Ludwig Wittgenstein’s concept of ‘Aspect Change’ – the ability to see one thing in multiple ways – was also a bedrock concept.
Funding through an Artist’s Development Bursary from The Box, Plymouth facilitated a 4-week artist’s residency at ‘Allotment Club’ (Penryn) which provided research time and space, fundamental in achieving a variety of explorative artistic/written/filmic outputs. It also supported the creation of the film ‘On Paper, Lines & Puffs of Language’ with film-maker Jasper Fell-Clark – for me a new way of documenting my practice – and the delivery of a paper at ‘Symposium on Aspect Change’, HBK Bern, Switzerland, 2021.
The book ‘Atlas of Aspect Change’ is sold in outlets worldwide and my article appeared alongside contributions from a diverse and respected array of designers/artists/writers/thinkers. Tine Melzer, its editor, asserts Aspect Seeing’s importance beyond arts and literary practices, because it allows us to transfer single truths into a conscious spectrum of meanings, suggesting its value not only as an essential cultural tool, but I propose, as a means for more empathetic modes of seeing and thinking.
Residencies at Allotment Club between 2019–2021 (of which I was one) demonstrated a lineage of reputable artists, and a need for residencies allowing connection and reflection upon nature, helping secure ACE funding (by Georgia Gendall) for a subsequent residency scheme in 2023, in which I was a mentor
