Just dropped off the following piece of work for the 1 in 4 exhibition which will be held in Salts Mill, Saltaire 6 - 10 Oct.
This piece of skirting board, removed from our bathroom during renovations, reveals layers of history; traces of people who have lived here and made their own mark on this house. Old hand-cut nails held it in place, They remind me of grave markers, marking the lives of those past inhabitants. Each of them has stood at the window and seen the mill and moors beyond that I see. Their everyday lives may have been very different to my own but, nevertheless, we have all experienced a range of human emotions as we live and age.
