SUMMARY:Haworth\, Hell & Halifax
DESCRIPTION:Haworth\, Hell & Halifax\nHaworth\, Hell and Halifax is an exhibition of sculptures and drawings by Diane Lawrenson. Lawrenson creates sensitive\, perceptive sculptures and drawings inspired by heritage\, literature\, landscape\, place\, portraiture and the figure. This exhibition explores the breadth of her work\, from her acclaimed life-size sculptures of the Bronte sisters to intensely personal depictions of emotional turmoil in ‘Freed Spirit’. Connections are constantly drawn between figure and landscape throughout her work. Lawrenson has spoken of how hills have inspired figure drawings and rock formations have led to sketches of imagined scenes and characters. \nThis exhibition is the first to show the bronze concept piece of the famous lesbian diarist\, businesswoman and Halifax landowner\, Anne Lister. Created in clay in 2019 and cast in foundry bronze in 2020\, this sculpture shows Lister in contemplation\, presenting a new interpretation of this pioneering figure. \nTitled Haworth\, Hell & Halifax\, Lawrenson makes reference to a phrase popular in the 17th century ‘From Hell\, Hull and Halifax\, May The Good Lord Deliver Us’\, originating in the Beggars’ Litany and best known from a poem by John Taylor written in 1622. The title here refers to the importance of place in her work\, whilst also alluding to the deeply emotional content that individual works explore. \nBorn in Liverpool\, 1946\, Lawrenson is based in Cumbria and has lived and worked in North Wales and West Yorkshire. She studied at Keighley College\, specialising in Ceramic Sculpture. Lawrenson has work in both private and public collections. As a Member of the Society of Women Artists\, she has exhibited at the Mall Galleries London\, where she has received several awards for her sculpture. She has been a member of the Royal Cambrian Academy since 2000. \nOPENING TIMES \nMonday to Tuesday 10am – 4pm \nWednesday 10am – 12noon \nThursday to Friday 10am – 1pm \nSaturday to Sunday 10am – 4pm \nIf you are visiting to see the exhibition outside of these hours please ask at the Visitor Centre and we will endeavour to open the gallery for you.

SUMMARY:Hidden Histories: Deeds Not Words
DESCRIPTION:HIDDEN HISTORIES: DEEDS NOT WORDS\n‘I went to gaol a rebel but I have come out a regular terror.’ Halifax born Laura Annie Willson was twice imprisoned in 1907 for her actions in support of women’s suffrage. \nDuring her campaigning she encountered violent assaults and threats but she was never deterred and declared\, ‘If they could sentence me for thinking I’d have been sentenced for life.’ \nThroughout her life Laura Annie followed the suffragette motto of ‘deeds not words’. When she saw the need for change she did something about it! \nDeeds not Words tells the story of the suffragette years of this truly remarkable woman; mill girl\, agitator\, engineer\, innovator\, house-builder – and MBE. \nHidden History uses theatre to bring to life the historical stories of the locations they are performed within.
