A Sense of Place - Westmead Hospital Foundation

The arts have been used as part of the healing process for thousands of years in ways we’re only beginning to realise. With the help of research, we are learning to understand the power of the arts in creating healing environments and a sense of place.

To support the development of environments for health and healing, an arts and culture program was delivered as part of the Westmead Redevelopment project.

The Arts and Culture program is designed to support all who come to Westmead to feel safe, welcome and connected. One of the art projects included a photography competition, designed to discover photographic images provided by staff, students and the community to be selected for the new hospital building.

First prize winner: Federico Rekowski with his winning image “Flow of Time”

2nd place - Heiko Spallek - Seals Galapagos Islands

Finalists from 'A Sense of Place' Photobook

785 images entered the Westmead Redevelopment Photography Competition and A Sense of Place is a celebration of these artistic efforts bundled into a beautifully finished book showcasing 26 of the very best. This is your opportunity to share in the beauty, talent and empathy of the photographic images to be installed in the new Central Acute Services Building at Westmead.

A portion of sales of each book will go toward funding the ongoing Arts and Culture program and future art acquisitions at Westmead Hospital that will continue to promote health and healing throughout the hospital environment now and into the future.
