Any ex-employees of Ainscoughs Flour Mill out there?
06th January 2010
I have been contacted by an artist called Louise Wood, who is a community based artist. Her work is inspired by peoples connections with their built environment, and she is currently planning work for an exhibition called 'Recollection' at the Chapel Gallery, Ormskirk. This focuses on two specific buildings which were once centres of employment, one being Ainscough Mill, Burscough.
Louise would like to make contact with former workers to interview them about their worklife at Ainscoughs. She will use that information as the foundation to make the artwork, and their words will also be fired on, and fused into the ceramic surface. This work will then be exhibited in an exhibition called "Recollection" at the Chapel Gallery in Ormskirk, late April for 6 weeks. If you would like to get involved, please use the contact form here: http://www.theviewfromthenorth.org/contact.html
