黑暗中，光线开始在边缘出现。彩虹的颜色发光和增长，从似乎是中心的地方发出。我们被颜色所吸引，彩虹环的和谐共振振动着，把我们的心、身体和思想带到了一起。

在过去的十年里，我的实践探索了艺术不同方面的治愈潜力，包括治愈色彩调色板，荧光对大脑的影响，以及圆形形状的冥想效果。

New Now-彩虹冥想室捕捉和抓住我们在一个欢乐的时刻，使用光、颜色和轮廓产生能量和积极性。观众被空间中通过数字动画、绘画和雕塑元素创造的绚丽色彩、光线和运动所包围。

作为一名艺术家和一名家长，我特别希望孩子们记住这个房间是一个快乐的地方。近年来，我们共同经历了如此焦虑的时期。New Now-彩虹冥想室为快乐和幸福的感觉创造空间。我希望每个进入这个房间的人都能感到一种新的乐观情绪。

每天我们都会收到

无尽的更新机会

珍惜现在

作为“SOLID GOLD, New Now”的一部分，您希望观众从您展出的作品中获得什么样的持久影响?

我希望观众能够体验到一种快乐和转变的感觉，这让他们感到快乐。这项研究基于正念和健康的神经科学。我也希望这个空间能创造一种好奇心和好奇感。我特别希望孩子们记住它是一个快乐的空间。

对于那些希望开始将艺术/艺术参与作为个人治疗工具的人，您有什么建议吗?他们可以从哪些方面着手呢?

首先，我不是一个健康专家，所以我只能分享我的经验和它是如何帮助我的。我想鼓励任何正在经历挑战时期的人与卫生专业人员合作。这仍然是我个人旅程的重要组成部分。

我相信艺术参与具有不可思议的治愈作用。它可以成为反思生活、参与和发现内在自我的滋养工具。它还可以帮助你以诗意和微妙的方式与他人联系。我认为有时当我们开始做一件新事情时，我们往往会想得太多。最好是放松，顺其自然，不要期待任何特定的结果。

至于个人的治愈之旅，就我而言，我会找到一个安全、安全、安静的空间，让自己慢下来，承认自己的感受。正念、亲近自然或有引导的冥想帮助我放松和平静下来。然后我就能参与艺术表达了。我也会做笔记进行反思。一些关键词或图画不断出现在我的脑海中，形成一个主题。写日记很有帮助。

生活的忙碌会让人很难有时间和空间去感受和治愈。对我来说，艺术是让我与自己联系的工具。通过艺术，我能够以一种温柔和诗意的方式与他人联系。

我鼓励每个人都保持开放和轻松的心态，而不是过于严肃，因为我相信这有助于我们个人的治愈之旅。

游戏中有许多艺术形式和参与方式。保持开放、好奇和俏皮是开始感受和治愈的温和方式。

New Now - Rainbow Meditation Room

Out of the darkness, light begins to appear around the edges. The colours of rainbow glow and grow, emanating from what appears to be the centre. We are drawn in by the colour, and the harmonic resonance of rainbow rings vibrates, bringing our hearts, bodies and minds into alignment.

Over the last decade, my practice has explored the healing potential of different aspects of art including the healing colour palette, the impact of fluorescence on the brain, and the meditative effects of circular shapes.

New Now - Rainbow Meditation Room captures and holds us in a joyous moment, using light, colour and contour to generate energy and positivity. Audience members are surrounded by brilliant colour, light and movement created through digital animation, painting, and sculptural elements in the space.

As an artist and a parent, I especially want children to remember this room as a happy place. Over recent years we have collectively experienced such anxious times. New Now - Rainbow Meditation Room creates space for feelings of joy and happiness. I hope that everyone who enters the room is able to leave feeling a renewed sense of optimism.

Each day we receive

Endless chances to renew

To cherish the now

What lasting impact do you hope audiences take from your work on display as part of SOLID GOLD, New Now?

I hope that audiences are able to experience a sense of joy and transformation, that it makes them happy. The work is based on the neuroscience of mindfulness and wellness. I also hope that the space creates a sense of curiosity and wonder. I would especially like children to remember it as a happy space.

Do you have any suggestions for people who are hoping to start incorporating art/artistic engagement as a tool for their own personal healing? What are some ways they can start?

Firstly, I am not a health professional, so I can only share my experience and how it has helped me. I would like to encourage anyone who is going through a challenging time to work with health professionals. This remains an important part of my own journey.

I believe that arts engagement has an incredible healing aspect. It can be such a nurturing tool to reflect on life, engage with and discover your inner self. It can also help you to connect with others in poetic and subtle ways. I think sometimes when we start something new, we tend to overthink things. It is best to relax, go with the flow, and experiment without expecting any particular outcomes.

With regard to a personal healing journey, in my case, I find a secure safe and quiet space to slow down and acknowledge how I am feeling. Mindfulness, connecting with nature, and/or guided meditation helps me to relax and calm down. Then I am able to engage with artistic expression. I also take notes for reflection. Some key words or drawings keep coming back to me that develop into a theme. Journaling can be very helpful.

The busyness of life can make it difficult to secure the time and space to feel and heal. For me, art is the tool that enables me to connect with myself. And through art I am able to connect with others in a gentle and poetic way.

I encourage everyone to stay open and light-hearted rather than being too serious, as I believe that this helps us with our own personal healing journeys.

There are many artforms and ways to engage. Being open, curious, and playful are gentle ways to start to feel and heal.
