In 2023, Will Chester-Master, one of the custodians of Abbey Home Farm approached the Corinium Museum to display field walking flint finds in the temporary exhibition space; inspired by the success of Art and Archaeology of Belas Knap Long barrow exhibition by Elizabeth Poraj-Wilczynska the year before. The proposition developed into an exhibition featuring artists’ responses to the landscape from which the flint came.
I curated the exhibition at the Corinium Museum which displayed part of the farm’s museum of field finds alongside work by Ruth Broadbent, Valerie Coffin Price, Andy Freedman, and myself. We collaborated with Will and the landscape of Abbey Home Farm We were inspired by the history, nature, the ethos of the farm.
