A promenade piece set in the Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh. This interactive performance explores the use of creative therapy to improve mental health within children. The audience follows a trail through a series of rooms within the gallery, each room advocating a new type of creative therapy, and therefore, a new form of self expression.

Collaborating with the informatics department, the costume investigates the effects of light therapy on a child’s heat rate, in particular those suffering from anxiety and/or stress. The head pulses blue light through an intergrated light system. Each loop pulses at half a beat slower than the average resting heat rate. As children watch the light, their heart rate decreases, reducing symptoms of anxiety and stress.
