Cullingworth; A Self Portrait

One of the aspects that I wanted to explore was a representation of the village. The dilemma was how?
Then it struck me; to use the way that it represents itself - it's signage.

This is a large wall plaque made from stoneware paperclay that revisits the theme of the village of Cullingworth. Using the images and signs that the village itself presents to represent it, it also aims to echo the recurring shapes to be found; the arches of the mill archways, the viaduct and the doors and windows of the pubs, the shapes and angles of the roof’s and the tones and textures of the local stone.

A second version of the village theme with a more overlapped and layered feel.
