Joan Grounds and Sherre Delys have a special interest in creating multimedia artworks for healing environments. Say Ahh was made specifically for the New Children’s Hospital at Westmead as part of ‘Australian Perspecta 1997: Between Art and Nature’. Say Ahh featured patients' voices and visual imagery inspired by toys knit by hospital volunteers. Via small built-in speakers, sound animated objects, and allowed them to call back and forth to one another. Embodied sound is at the core of our collaborative work, and essential to the context of this healing environment. This playful work turned a passive area into an interactive environment, offering the opportunity for children and their carers to participate in the enchantment of nature.
