“Mo(nu)mentaries” (2021-)

Limited edition postcard collection, graphic designed by Jon Cannon, printing by ASAP Digital Ltd.

Commissioned as part of the two-part exhibition “Towards Memorial” and “Mo(nu)mentaries” at Bury Art Museum, 2021-2

A series of 16 postcards bringing together selected artworks and artefacts from Bury Art Museum’s permanent collection, Bury Archives, Sheffield City Archives and Local Studies Library, and artworks including “My Days with Edward Carpenter” (2016-), “Towards Memorial” (2019-), and “The Human Memorial” (2020-). The postcards, to be used and worn in your shoes, develops a visual narrative across thousands of years, relating to feet, sandals, shoemaking, public gatherings, protest, the public commissioning of public statues and monuments, and forms of memorial making - asking, what do you stand for, and importantly, when and where?
