M

M is for menstruation, motherhood, menopause.

M is a is 3 meter long typewritten scroll, containing 1404 lines of the letter m, each line representing a week in time from the age of 13 to 40 years old, 2019, washi & silk.

M was made in response to the 2019 Ride Your Pony third annual international group exhibition as part of Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival. 26 participants from across the globe including an array of designers, illustrators, photographers, artists and makers were each invited to create a piece of work to exhibit in response to a lucky dip letter of the alphabet. The brief asked the participants to use their letter which they received in the post as either an object within their work, or as a starting point for them to begin from whilst also taking inspiration from the Cabinet of Curiosities gallery at Warrington Museum & Art Gallery where the show was exhibited.

This scroll is on display at Warrington Museum & Art Gallery until March 2020.
