The artist’s research focused on the early holistic agricultural and horticultural patient engagement with the landscape when Dykebar opened as Renfrew Asylum in the early 1900's. Scattered across the site, remaining fragments of abandoned villas and gardens, farms and fields, aviaries and tennis courts inspired the conceptual design for both of the artist’s proposed interventions.
The implemented design, developed with landscape architect Guto Jones and constructed by A M Rae Stonecraft, offers a simple oval space linked to the Occupational Therapy Department, who will maintain it. ‘The Island’ space offers a facility for Tai Chi, Yoga, Horticultural Therapy and social gatherings.
