Càit An Dèan Mi Mo Nead? (Where Will I Make My Nest?) is inspired by a traditional gaelic poem about a hen looking for a place to make a nest . Set in the small crofting community of Assynt in the Scottish Highlands, the story interweaves the modern and ancient. Seordag is a metal hen with a TV set body.
