PeaceHealth Commission
In January 2019, I was invited to enter paintings into the PeaceHealth “Healing Through Art” exhibit at St. Joseph Hospital in Bellingham, Washington. The hospital purchased for their permanent collection, two acrylic on canvas paintings: “Winter Light,” 48 x 48 inch and “Sunlit Spruce,” 30 x 40 inch. I was then approached by the Exhibition Curator to propose an art installation for the 3rd Floor, North Tower.
The Process
After experimenting with several different materials and layout ideas, I settled on using 1/8” and 1/4” thick expanded PVC sheets. The material is light, flexible, easy to cut and shape. With the right primer, it accepted the acrylic paint well. Using this material, I cut contour shapes and layered them on top of each other for dimension. I wanted to produce more tactile and interesting images than framed paintings on the wall for the viewer. I also decided to continue the Northwest Landscape theme that included some iconic resident critters. Once the ideas were approved with an initial prototype, I produced fifteen original scenics over six months, to be installed at St. Joseph Hospital in the winter of 2020.
