欢乐花园
积极行动的合作 - Myerscough展示了艺术家和品牌可以如何合作 来推动公共领域的变化
‘Joy Garden’
Collaboration for positive action – Myerscough demonstrates how artists and brands can work together to instigate change in the public realm
Morag Myerscough在谢菲尔德儿童医院的第一个项目--为46间套房设计了四项设计，确保了她与医院、病人和员工的密切联系和承诺，并反过来为她迄今为止最个人化的项目--欢乐花园提供了最初的灵感。在与儿童医院慈善机构艺术项目的前负责人卡特-鲍威尔（Cat Powell）进行实地考察后，他们都知道这个未被充分利用的院外空间的价值，以及它对儿童、家庭和员工可能带来的变化。了解到为医院获得资金项目的困难，莫拉格亲自与未来友好型清洁和个人护理产品的创造者method联系，她一直在与他们合作开发限量版产品系列。
Morag Myerscough’s first project at Sheffield Children’s Hospital - which saw four designs across forty-six en-suite bedrooms, secured her close connection and commitment to the hospital, its patients and its staff and in-turn provided the initial inspiration for her most personal project to date, the Joy Garden. After a site-visit with Cat Powell, former Head of The Children’s Hospital Charity’s arts programme, Artfelt, they both knew the value of the underused outside courtyard space, and the difference it could make to children, families, and staff. Understanding the difficulty of securing funding projects for hospitals, Morag personally approached method, creators of future friendly cleaning and personal care products, who she had been working with on a limited edition product range.
这个项目，不必仅仅依靠慈善机构和慈善事业，标志着某种行动主义的希望，在这种情况下，艺术家和品牌可以积极主动地一起工作，催化变化，把真正必要的好处带入公共领域。
This project, without having to only rely on charity and philanthropy, signifies hope in a certain kind of activism, where artists and brands can work proactively together to catalyse change and bring real necessary good into the public realm.
"这个项目对我来说绝对意味着一切。早在2017年，我就和Artfelt的Cat Powell一起看过这个空地，很明显，它可以被改造成一个美丽、实用的花园，对每个人都有巨大好处。 我没有为我的设计收取任何费用，因此在方法的支持下，我们能够为这个重要的空间提供资金，而没有给医院带来任何前期费用......
.. "我知道当你被限制在一个空间里时，外部空间对情绪的影响有多大。 一些儿童和家庭在医院呆了很长时间，他们需要到外面去，感受阳光在他们脸上的照射。在过去的几年里，我们都意识到外部空间和相互交流的价值。 虽然美学在医院的治疗中是次要的，但很明显，它们为人类的经历带来了急需的价值和支持。希望这个花园能在病人、家属和工作人员最需要的时候带来一些欢乐。" Morag Myerscough
"This project means absolutely everything to me. I saw the empty space with Cat Powell of Artfelt back in 2017, and it was clear that it could be transformed into a beautiful, functional garden that would be of huge benefit to everyone. I took no fee for my design, and therefore with method’s support, we were able to fund this important space at no upfront cost to the hospital…
… “I know how much outside space makes a difference to mood when you are confined to one space. Some of the children and families stay in the hospital for extended periods of time and need to get outside and feel the sun on their faces. We’ve all realised the value of outside spaces and interacting with each other over the last couple of years. And although aesthetics are secondary to treatment in hospital, it’s obvious that they bring much needed value and support to the human experience. Hopefully this garden will bring some joy when patients, families and staff need it most.” Morag Myerscough
莫拉格在医院与家属、工作人员和一位来自方法的香水专家举行了 "香味和颜色研讨会"。合作的另一个方面可以从花园的几何颜色填充的地板图案中看到，这些图案最初是为伦敦的另一个公共艺术作品计划设计的，当取消后，艺术家可以将它们重新用于医院的花园中。对莫拉格来说，与当地的手工艺人合作来完成建造是非常重要的，她与谢菲尔德的制造者Design Workshop Ltd合作来完成欢乐花园的主要结构，而面板是由莫拉格在她的工作室使用YesColours绘制的，YesColours向该项目赠送了油漆。
‘Fragrance and colour workshop sessions’ were held by Morag at the hospital with families, staff, and a fragrance expert from method. A further aspect of collaboration can be seen in the garden’s geometrical colour-infused floor patterns, originally designed for another public artwork initiative in London, which when cancelled enabled the artist to repurpose them for use within the hospital garden. It was important to Morag to work with local craftspeople to finalise the build, she worked with Sheffield fabricator Design Workshop Ltd for the main structure of the Joy Garden, while the panels were painted by Morag in her studio using YesColours who gifted the paint to the project.
“I’m delighted to bring to completion the project Morag and I envisioned so many years ago. The Joy Garden completes a journey through our building; from an enticing entrance, up to our unique bedrooms, and now a special outdoor space that brings everyone together. It’s a privilege to work with Morag, who so completely understands the difference art can bring to healthcare environments and has a fabulous talent for making spaces which enrich people’s lives. This project couldn’t have happened without her passion and the support of a company like Method and all the amazing traders that pulled together to create such a wonderful result for so many patients, families, and staff.” Cat Powell, Former Head of Artfelt
"我很高兴能完成莫拉格和我多年前设想的项目。欢乐园完成了我们建筑的一个旅程；从一个诱人的入口，到我们独特的卧室，现在是一个特殊的户外空间，把大家聚集在一起。能与莫拉格合作是一种荣幸，她完全理解艺术能给医疗环境带来的不同，并且在创造丰富人们生活的空间方面有惊人的天赋。如果没有她的热情和像Method这样的公司的支持，以及所有了不起的商人一起为这么多的病人、家属和工作人员创造如此美妙的结果，这个项目就不可能发生。" Cat Powell, Artfelt的前负责人
"新的欢乐园令人惊叹--莫拉格为这个空间带来了如此多的生命和色彩。我喜欢它，我知道我们的家人、我们的同事和我们的病人也会觉得它很美妙。获得户外空间和新鲜空气对我们的健康非常重要，我们有一些长期住院的病人，还有一些经常来我们门诊部的病人，所以有了这个新的充满活力的空间将对他们大有裨益。" 露丝-布朗，谢菲尔德儿童NHS基金会信托基金的首席执行官
欢乐园强调了品牌与艺术家合作，为有需要的人做好事的重要性。
“The new Joy Garden is amazing – Morag has just brought such life and colour into the space. I love it and I know that our families, our colleagues, and our patients will find it fabulous as well. Access to outdoor space and fresh air can be so important for our wellbeing, we’ve got patients who have long stays with us and others that attend our Outpatients Department regularly, so having this new vibrant space will be of huge benefit to them.” Ruth Brown, Chief Executive at Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust
The Joy Garden underpins the importance of brands working together with artists to do good for those in need.
