Paint
Numerous strengths and hues of grey and blue were used to create the desired
colour palette for the consulting and waiting rooms.
The waiting room’s graduated paint surfaces were influenced by artist Mark Rothko, where canvases act as windows to shared worlds. The gradations also represent how emotions, and relationships, move between shades of grey, to ‘black’, then again to ‘lighter emotions’. Well-known aspirational expressions include, “lightness of being” and “seeing the light”. Equally, ‘“exploring the dark side” is a ubiquitous part of any therapy experience. Darkness is palpable and ever-near; solid and low, holding dense and real.
