Hilary Pecis x RxART at Gracie Square Hospital
RxART's collaboration with Gracie Square Hospital will enhance the activity rooms and the group therapy room in the Young Adult/College Student unit. In this program, the average length of stay is approximately 10 days, and patients frequently spend much of their time in these rooms. Artist Hilary Pecis is thoughtfully approaching this commission in order to enhance the comfort and peacefulness of the spaces through imagery of nature. Pecis is creating three works on paper, including a series of landscapes. Once completed, Pecis's original artworks will be photographed and fabricated in Acrovyn, a common hospital-approved wall material. The end result will be a series of immersive, tranquil murals, bringing a sense of serenity from the outdoors into the patient unit.
