The Ben William acts both as a devise for creating energy, and the ability to transcend the owner of the work with a collection of previously unseen drawings relating to the experiences of isolation during lockdown. It features an adapted portable wood-burning stove used by Summerton on several mountain camps, with wood collected from an abandoned osprey nest and a collection of ten folded drawings.

The work was produced during lockdown, where Summerton was artist in resident at the abandoned Ben William Creative Retreat in rural Angus. Activities beyond the daily practice of gathering quartz rocks, included heating a pool with an open fire, building a greenhouse from recycled materials, chopping firewood, planting vegetables, making a pond and hunting with a feral cat.
