‘My approach toward the commission is to encompass the above with the overall theme of all the art commissions, being ‘inside / outside’. I plan to produce a number of artworks using the materials of printed, fired glass and custom Polyrey laminate panels. (Polyrey being a large company that produces plastic laminate sheeting).
The artworks will consist of imagery based upon the Essex landscape, including local tree and plant types. The artworks will form a series of landscapes, which will be influenced by local historical and contemporary postcards. The artworks will also be influenced by night and day scenes and the process known as ‘movie matte painting’, the traditional visual effect used by filmmakers to enhance a film’s scene, by painting imagery on glass and placing this glass between the subject and the film camera. These landscapes will be split into ‘components’, such as foregrounds and backgrounds. Subsequently these ‘components’ will be spread along designated areas of the hospital. The key areas that have been identified for artworks for level 2 have been the main corridor walls and the walls of the waiting rooms.’

The below photos were taken of rural Essex by myself. The Essex Wildlife Trust website was very useful in my research in finding and visiting these locations. The website provides clear information relating to wildlife that can be found.

These are old postcards showing locations in Essex, and I have omitted sections to mirror techniques used in matte painting, (described later).
