Interwoven Exhibition

Kelly's work can be seen in an exhibition that draws on the textile heritage of Saltaire. It is a specially commissioned exhibition  that explores the connections between photography, cloth, and memory.

The focus is on women’s histories and experiences and the selected works, displayed in a first-floor apartment in the former Salt’s Hospital, suggest that both cloth and photographs are forever embedded with the physical traces of their subject and the past.

It's at 3, Sir Titus Salt Apartments, 65 Victoria Road, Saltaire BD18 3HQ. Opening
times are 10am to 5pm, 5 – 7 May 2012.
