In Their Space
In Their Space is a touring exhibition by three sculptors who were resident artists at The Red House, Aldeburgh between 2020-2023. Each of the artists’ works in this exhibition were made in response to their individual, self-directed research projects at The Red House, Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears former home.
Rebecca Griffiths’ sculptures explore the megastructure of the Sizewell B nuclear power station and reflects on its current and future impact on the Suffolk coastal landscape. Alison Cooke focuses on Britten’s nurse, Rita Thomson, and the deep bond between carer and composer, using the same clay that made the bricks that built the Red House. Through sculptures and drawings, Hannah Honeywill explores the open secret of Britten and Pears’ relationship. Her work resonates with the experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals navigating public spaces.
The residencies were organised with Royal Society of Sculptors. The exhibition tours to RSS Dora House, London in 2025.
