Somewhat tardy in posting these pictures, but then I (Ben) managed to lose the memory card... back before the summer we attended an exhibition being run by a work colleague of Amy, taking part in an Arts Festival in Hebden Bridge. The chapel, in a tiny village up on the hills overlooking the town, is a regular venue for arts and music, and a nicely forward-looking way of encouraging use of a lovely old building alongside religious services.
The main space was filled with a mix of suspended pieces which caught the light nicely (being partly composed of transparent cellophane) and folded-paper pieces on the church pews, all specially made with the venue in mind.
The project was the work of a locally-based artist, Komal, who put on the show with the assistance of some fellow artists and workmates.
The slightly-faded grandeur of the building was an attraction in its own right, such as this stairwell leading up to the activity/refreshment room upstairs...
...where there were some interactive activities being set up, mimicking the pieces laid out on the pews downstairs.
More nice details inside the building, a line of battered coat hooks.
Tea and Cake, an essential of any exhibition.
Another detail for the nerdy student of design, an early illuminated sign for the exit.
