Emily Sutton: Town and Country

About Emily Sutton: Town and Country

The largest solo exhibition to date by illustrator Emily Sutton took over YSP Centre throughout winter 2014.

Adorning the walls of YSP Centre, Town and Country featured a delightful display of original and intricate paintings and screen-prints, along with a flock of beautifully embroidered birds nesting in the YSP Shop window.

Incorporating a love of pattern and detail, Sutton took inspiration from her recent travels to Paris and Southern France as well as scenes closer to her native Yorkshire, including YSP and her own home – which she references in her first ever limited edition lithograph print September Dresser (2014), produced by Curwen Studio and exclusive to YSP.

    Heather Peak and Ivan Morison: Silence – Alone in a World of Wounds

    Silence – Alone in a World of Wounds is installed alongside Upper Lake within a stand of birch trees and aims to create solitary communion with the natural world. Responding to the question 'Can art save us from extinction?', the artists developed a sculptural space made of natural materials including timber and thatch. It acts as an extended open pavilion and becomes a framework and quiet space set within nature.

    David Nash: Barnsley Lump

    Barnsley Lump is a rough-cut block of local coal that connects to the geological and social history of the area. It is gradually disintegrating back into the earth, as Nash anticipated, describing it as a ‘going’ work.
