What are Fragments?
Could they be the partial of something once was whole?
A glimpse into the life of what something once was?
This year is the 2nd year of a partnership with Cloth Road Artists and Trowbridge Museum. The exhibition ‘Fragments’ will debut a solo exhibition from Maria Harryman, Trowbridge based Cloth Road Artist.
Maria spent a day behind the scenes at the Museum researching the Archive Collection. She came across boxes of broken ceramics found predominately in the ground of the old Rose & Crown in Steeple Ashton (now a private residence). Responding to theses little ‘Fragments’ and a patchwork quilt, Maria has taken inspiration from colours & architecture of Steeple Ashton and Trowbridge to create a new body of textile work.
Maria Harryman’s response to a visit at Trowbridge Museum:
When I spent the day at the museum I felt drawn to the broken ceramics. I loved the shapes of fragments and the snippets of pattern and colour on each piece.
The exhibition includes a fantastic programme of FREE craft activities for both children and adults.
‘Fragments’ runs until 29th September and will also feature in Trowbridge Arts Festival from 14th-29th September.
