Sky, ground, tree, me is a workshop I designed for children staying at the Sydney Children’s Hospitals in Randwick and Westmead, Sydney. The work was commissioned by the Sydney Childrens Hospital Foundation (SCHF) in 2025.
The workshop, which I trained SCHF educators to deliver to patients, asks children to think of a memory with a tree, then to draw that memory onto four perspex shapes. Using a torch, they then experiment with projecting that memory onto different surfaces around the room.
Josh and his sister, Emily's memory of an old Maple tree with beautiful autumn leaves that grew out of the footpath outside of the window in thier old apartment in Normanhurst.
Steven's memory of a playdate with his mate, Noah in his backyard under a tree with orange bark that his dad wants to cut down.
