This book on the ‘Hospital’ series has essays by Ben Cranfield and Margaret Iversen with an afterword by the artist. The text explores the use of creating ‘absence’ in the work as a method for creating a sense of presence and examines how the artist Robert Priseman has removed any sense of his own narrative in order to create a space for the viewer in this powerful series of paintings. In doing this, it is argued here, the viewer can become more fully engaged with the work presented.
