The work installed at this hospital is called "The Wilderness
Pill". The title refers to the fact that the vista in the
wilderness where this panorama was taken (Dove River Canyon, Cradle
Mtn Nat Park) induces a mental state which is mesmerizing. This
wilderness creates an inner peace which is truly calming. It's as
if you've swallowed a pharmacological pill. Hence the title: "The
Wilderness Pill". The scale is gigantic - 11x1.8 meters in 50
vertical panels. Feedback on this public art work has been most
enthusiastic - both from patients, & their visitors, as well as
hospital staff. It's located (left) at the end of the main entrance
corridor to the hospital. I have never before experienced such
endorsement of an art work from so many people. People who
typically may not visit art galleries. It truly is "art for
people". The opening event - organized by hospital staff - was
delightfully casual, as shown in the photos & video - YouTube:
