From a series of works created at Hospitalfield, an artist residency program in Abroath, Scotland. This history of this residency site is fascinating: a hospital was built on the site in 1260 to support the new Benedictine Abbey in Arbroath; in 1664, after the reformation, the Reverend James Fraser bought the estate and in 1843 the artist Patrick Allan met and married Elizabeth Fraser. In 1902, following the terms of their bequest, Hospitalfield became an art school, later developing into a post graduate residential college.
