Logandene serves patients with dementia. We spoke to carers and staff, and it became clear that there was a need for artworks that would encourage embodied, active, physical interactions: as one of the staff said, “We need people to stand up, to become more aware of their bodies and environment... to investigate the world in the present”.
Building on what we learned from our Lambourn Grove project, we designed interactive walls, which provided a wide selection of images, objects, sculptural forms, bright colours, and textures.
These artworks integrate with daily schedules, offering multi-sensory stimulation throughout the department, encouraging bodily movement and exercise.
