April 2023

Wakefield Cathedral

An exhibition exploring lamentation in all its forms: mourning, memorial, loss and hope. 

"I’ve been moved to tears by music many times but rarely by art works." "As a viewer I felt like it gave you permission to acknowledge in ourselves the capacity for the kind of outpourings that we tend to avoid in the UK"

This body of work began over fifteen years ago, when I started to notice more public outpourings of grief in the form of flower votives left by the side of a road. It felt that people were not being given the opportunity to mourn their sadness and were finding their own ways to share this with others around them, even the stranger in a passing car: that maybe our modern world still had one taboo, which was death. Since then, the project has expanded to be an exploration of lament and the need to mourn that which is wrong in society generally; not only the passing and back story of those we love, but also the death of those who remain unnoticed and unaccounted for, the death of our planet, the death of community, the death of care, the death of justice. Long before covid hit, mental health issues were already on the rise, our health service was stretched to breaking point, poverty increasing, our communities fragmented. If anything, the pandemic has offered a counter story of hope in the prevailing spirit of humanity against all odds, including the injustices of the world we live in.

I recently heard someone call mourning a form of dissent: a way of recognizing that which is wrong and allowing the sorrow we feel to galvanize us into proactivism. Or, in the words of another, “Lament is the beginning of change”. If this is so, then maybe this exhibition goes some way to affect us for the better. It is a lamentation but also a celebration: for we have it in our hands to bring about change and hope. The show will be touring, dates and venues to be announced.
