Abstract / Summary

CONNECT was delivered by Willis Newson and University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust in partnership with 24 leading national and international artists, local artists, arts organisations, and community members. The programme comprises more than 150 original artworks which ‘Connect with Place’, celebrating Brighton, Sussex, the coast, and the unique character and cultures of the communities who live here.

This celebratory arts programme supports the wellbeing of patients, visitors and staff by making the hospital feel more welcoming, helping people find their way round, providing distraction and enjoyment, and ensuring people feel cared for.

The commissioned artworks permeate every area of the building from the main welcome space to waiting rooms, quiet rooms and clinical spaces. To create a distinctive identity for the hospital and a lasting legacy of accessible, high-quality public art for the city, county and community.

The Waiting Rooms Photography Project:

Willis Newson in collaboration with Brighton-based Photoworks and the University of Brighton commissioned four photographers to deliver a permanent collection of photographic artworks sited across 36 public waiting rooms within the new redevelopment of Brighton’s Royal Sussex County Hospital.

Celine Marchbank, Murray Ballard, Zoe Childerley and lead artist Helen Sear were selected to photograph Brighton, the coast, the South Downs, and Sussex. The pictures aim to be a source of contemplation and pleasure for patients, visitors and staff across the 36 waiting rooms in the Louisa Martindale Building.

Celine Marchbank - Brighton Portfolio: Taking the theme of ‘Brighton’, Marchbank has created a series of photographs that evoke and celebrate the sense of place that home brings.

For this two year community-engaged project, Marchbank worked with over 30 local residents - including patients, ex-patients, staff, volunteers, carers, visitors and family members – who shared stories of what home means to them and invited Marchbank into their homes to capture the spirit of these stories. Her aim was to create a body of work that evokes and celebrates the sense of place that home brings, to capture a feeling of familiarity, wellbeing and comfort. She wanted the lives of the local residents and hospital users to fill the hospital walls to create a warm and human atmosphere and for the community to feel part of the work.
