Ref. 23867-53There was a feast of sensory delights for patients, visitors and staff at Swindon's Great Western Hospital. Artist Mark Rowan-Hull put his creative talents to the test while a string quartet filled the hospital's atrium with festive tunes.
Seeing Music, Hearing Colour is an ongoing project focusing on the subject of the joining of the senses.
Mark Rowan-Hull has taken part in a series of events at the Royal Festival Hall and more recently at a Music and the Mind festival at the University of London where he painted live on stage to music.
He also gave an illustrated lecture with a neuroscientist about the visual and auditory senses. The Swindon and Marlborough NHS Trust Arts Committee is keen to pool the artistic ideas of staff and patients, and the general environment of the hospital.
Mr Rowan-Hull said: "I believe passionately that the arts have a vital role to play in all aspects of health care."
