Alec Finlay: Creating poem gardens at Murray Royal Hospital, Perth
In this episode of Voices of the Walk, Kayleigh Lytham talks with Paths for All’s artist-in-residence Alec Finlay about their collaborative work to renovate two hospital gardens at Murray Royal Hospital in Perth.
Kayleigh and Alec discuss the artwork and poems that were created for the gardens and the inspiration behind them, including the Perthshire gardener, biologist and mountaineer G.F. Dutton (https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poet/g-f-dutton/ ). They talk about creating a partnership between NHS Tayside, Paths for All and a team of designers to carry out the project.
The discussion also considers how this work could be replicated in other healthcare settings and what Alec has planned for his residency in the year ahead.
