The Saviour Of The World 1993
gelatin silver print
8 x 8 in.
From 1988 to 1996 an art studio known as the Art Access Studio operated on the grounds
of Larundel [...]. While art therapy had been introduced to Victorian psychiatric hospitals
[...], such programs had a clinical focus, with patient artwork utilised as diagnostic tools.
The Art Access Studio departed from this model, offering patients the opportunity for
self-directed exploration of their creativity. The program was run by practising artists, participation was voluntary and the patients’ works were regarded as art and not subject to analysis.
