Connected by their love of urban spaces, artists Mandy Payne and Harriet Mena Hill with poet Helen Angell have created brand new work in paint, textiles and words to capture the spirit and beauty of Rossendale.
The exhibition follows their journey of discovery through the valley with an emphasis on the present as well as a recognition of the area's rich past. Journeying mostly on foot, they explore the notion of place as one created through personal experience.
Using local materials such as felt, slate, quarry stone and experimental concrete from a nearby works, the trio reflect on the ever-changing nature of where we live.
