The  NEL CSA Hub (North East London Child Sexual Abuse Hub) offers a holistic, child-centred and integrated approach to supporting the recovery of children, and their families, who have been affected by sexual abuse. Also known as the Sunrise Hub, it provides service for seven north east London boroughs.

I was commissioned by fellow artist Halina Edwards, to design and install a permanent lighting scheme to support her textile artworks and vision for the CSA Hub. The lighting was designed to be calm and inviting, and with a degree of customisation, so that children can choose coloured lighting as a way of gaining control over the environment, or reflecting how they may be feeling.
