Alison Lloyd

Alison Lloyd is an artist whose work stretches back to the 1970’s. In 2014 she began to exhibit this work alongside new work with her exhibition Grains at TG Gallery in Nottingham, which also published her book Jake. These photographic series capture a range of speculative and choreographed happenings, recalling moving-image and performance. In 2010 she wrote Contouring: Women, Walking and Art, which described the world of women artists of the 1960s, 70s and early 80s.

Recent exhibitions include Artist + Academic: collaborative practices, Mansions of the Future, Summer School presentation, Instagram Takeover Meadow Behind Bars, Survival Skills for Peak Art, London, Southend (1982), Salon de Normandy, Paris and Runner Beans (1982) installed at The Attic, Nottingham. These projects were generously supported by TG Gallery, Nottingham, Community Paris, Paris, Version Magazine with Robert Wun, the Edgework, London Peak, London, Travelling Gallery, Edinburgh, Ollie Tirre curator of The Attic, and Arts Council England.

corpse road

Also known as corpse way, coffin route, coffin road, coffin path, churchway path, bier road, burial road, lyke-way or lych-way. “Now is the time of night, That the graves all gaping wide, Every one lets forth his sprite, In the church-way paths to glide” – Puck in Midsummer Night’s Dream. A path used in medieval times to take the dead from a remote parish to the ‘mother’ church for burial. Coffin rests or wayside crosses lined the route of many where the procession would stop for a while to sing a hymn or say a prayer. There was a strong belief that once a body was taken over a field or fell that route would forever be a public footpath which may explain why so many corpse roads survive today as public footpaths. They are known through the UK.
