Marianne was engaged as the artist in charge of Garden Mosaic Project for Mt Druitt Hospital Palliative Care Unit. Marianne worked with Unit staff to design a large 2x3metre mosaic for the garden area and 12 small individual 60cmx 40cm mosaics for the garden raised bed. She then oversaw the implementation of the workshops for the mosaics and installed these mosaics when completed by volunteers and other participants. Marianne designed, and created the mosaics, supporting volunteers, staff, patients and carers to complete the small individual mosaics at the unit over a 5 month period; February – June 2018. She prepped all the mosaic requirements; tile cutting, designs, and then supervised workshops at the unit and at Bidwill Uniting during this time. The design of the large mosaic was based on ideas from staff and Marianne then drew the design independently. She supervised the creation of the 2 x 3 metre mosaic offsite until it was completed. Marianne worked on completing the mosaic pieces into the one large artwork followed by installing, grouting, and cleaning the large mosaic and small individual mosaics to the completed project requisition. The mosaic is an outstanding piece of community engagement as well as a beautiful artwork for patients, carers, staff, volunteers and visitors to enjoy when they come to Mt Druitt Palliative Care Unit at Mt Druitt hospital.
