In 2019 The Model commissioned Andy Parsons to be Artist in Residence at Sligo University Hospital where he engaged staff, patients and families in creative activities and conversations. Parsons particularly focused on the Renal Ward where patients undergoing dialysis were enabled to explore creativity through experiments in painting and drawing. Alongside this, the artist developed a body of drawings, paintings and sculptures that trace the many stories at the heart of hospital life. The residency was supported by The Model, Creative Ireland, Sligo, and the Arts Council.
