Oneinfive is an artwork specially commissioned for Five
Ways Health Centre in Childwall, Liverpool. Designed to be
contemplative and thought-provoking, this interactive piece comes
to life with human touch and offers a chance to reflect on the
wonders of daily life.
Artist collective, Unusual, worked with students from Childwall
School to look at the Five Ways to Wellbeing - five simple
actions that can improve our well-being (Connect, Be Active, Take
Notice, Keep Learning, Give). The students interviewed family and
public about the wonders of everyday life and the sense of
wellbeing they can give us. They asked questions like: What made
you smile today? Did you see something unusual while travelling to
your destination? Have you learnt any new skills recently? Who are
the people important in your life? When did you last do something
nice for someone?
Visitors to the health centre can find the answers to these
questions by placing your hand on top of the shape on the piece. As
you touch it, watch as five sentences scroll out - representing the
Five Ways to Wellbeing and the Five Ways roundabout
outside the health centre.
As time goes by, the students from Childwall School will update
the text offering visitors a new experience each time they visit
the health centre.
This artwork was commissioned by Liverpool Sefton Health
