Syros 4 by Jeremy Syros Troughton (HPFT key theme: Choice)
In 2015, HPFT invited people with a lived experience of using mental health or specialist learning disability services to send in photographs of their produced art. An Art Panel comprising service users, carers and staff selected art from the applications to display in HPFT's newly refurbished buildings across Hertfordshire. The Trust has purchased and framed the art which will be rotated around its buildings every 6 months, so service users, staff and visitors see a change in the art displayed.
HPFT asked people for their paintings, drawings, mixed media, photography and prints, and to identify which of the Trust's key themes related to their art: Hope, Resilience, Empowerment, Choice.
