The Archie Foundation is a children’s charity based in NHS Grampian that aims to generate better experiences of hospital spaces for children through the use of artwork. Nomad RDC were commissioned to work with children from the Fraserburgh region to create art pieces for their local hospital.
The Artwork in Fraserburgh hospital was inspired by workshops held with Fraserburgh Junior Arts Society. During these workshops the children used medical equipment such as stethoscopes to ‘diagnose the spaces’. Cold, boring, dark and hard were just some of the problems identified. This was used as a basis for the artwork, making the spaces more colourful and warm, adding texture using graphic work and an interactive 3D wall. The nursing team were keen to engage the young people of the area with science and therefore inspired the subject matter that highlights scientific diagrams and identifies Marconi as a major figure in the cultural landscape of Fraserburgh.
