Over the last few weeks participants of the Lennox Castle Stories group have produced an astonishing amount of art work and they have generously shared some of their memories of Lennox Castle for a documentary.
The surrounding environment of Lennox Castle – the stretching hills, forests and wildlife of the Campsies – has been a huge influence on the paintings, drawings, 3 dimensional objects and animations produced. One of the animations reflected upon how the Castle was hidden away from the world behind the trees and other animations have captured very vivid personal memories.
Meal times, tea breaks and other day to day routines within the hospital are also strong themes which the ex-residents are keen to talk about and reflect upon within their art work.
It has been an honour to work with the group and see these themes develop, forming unique and poignant responses to their time in Lennox Castle.
