Double Flower is an outstanding new body of work by the Glasgow-based visual artist Louise Hopkins. Commissioned by Cove Park, the prints, paintings, and performance were developed through a series of site visits and research residencies which allowed Louise to work in Cove Park’s studios and directly in the landscape overlooking Loch Long.

Double Flower is presented within Cove Park’s Jacobs Building and in the communal spaces used by residents and visitors for meetings, gatherings, and study. Installed at the time of the summer equinox, Double Flower will end as the season changes. A new text by artist, writer and former resident Sarah Tripp, written in response to Double Flower, accompanies this project.
