Jane Kelly developed ambitious detailed designs for the central courtyard, these were supported by the client team, however the required additional; funding to realise her work have proved difficult to secure. Jane has therefore now focussed on working with the OT department to provide a small garden and reflective area adjacent to the Acute Unit.]
Exploring the enchanted garden as mankinds most constant and consoling myth (Clark), artist Jane Kelly has developed designs for the courtyard at Dykebar. The simulation, variously seasonal, gives an idea of how the garden might develop over time.
Included within the simulation are Kelly’s ideas for reduced hard paved areas (replaced by planting and silver-grey limestone stack paving stones), wooden sitting edges surrounding a central secluded ‘quiet’ area, a colour palette of tiled walls, glazing and planting and
through consultation with staff in the Occupational Therapy department at the hospital, a horticultural therapy area, referencing the now abandoned victorian working gardens.
