This exhibition is the latest of artist Neil Brownsword’s investigations into the marginalised histories of North Staffordshire, focusing on its early industrial growth. A combination of digital imagery, 3D-printed objects, large-scale tapestries, slip cast objects and museum artefacts, the exhibition explores how materials and techniques familiar to one medium are applied to another, and the material slippages, technological innovation and subversion that result. His ‘copies without originals’ reconnect audiences to innovations of an obscured industrial past that remain significant to the cultural identity of North Staffordshire and the nation’s ceramic history at large.
