Field Walking Exhibition

Field Walking Exhibition

Exhibition opening at the Corunium Museum in Cirencester (19 Sept – 13 Oct) which involves creative walking.

An exhibition of fieldwalking finds from Abbey Home Farm and artwork inspired by the landscape.
Corinium Museum is delighted to host a selection of exhibits from Will Chester-Master’s museum of farm finds. Displayed alongside art inspired by walking the fields on the farm .
Prehistoric worked flints come up in the plough soils, along with shards of Roman pottery. Way back, this was Abbey land, is crossed by Roman roads, a disused 19th century railway line and was blasted through by a dual carriageway. Will is one of the custodians of a farm which carries traces of many thousands of years of history.

Artists Ruth Broadbent, Andy Freeman, Valerie Coffin Price and Caroline Morris have taken as their inspiration the layers of history on Abbey Home Farm land and created work to compliment the artefacts.
