It’s all back to front, telling stories with pictures and making sculptures with words, but that is what you’ll find in Warrington from May to July as the Halton-based group of artists Markmakers bring their latest exhibition to Warrington. Over the past two years, artists from Markmakers have been reading and sharing stories, choosing authors and books that interest and inspire them in order to create beautiful interpretations of the narratives. One of the books, Mark Cocker’s Crow Country, the opening line from which the exhibition takes its title, features descriptions of nature and the natural environment. It has stimulated artworks and research visits in the landscape of Warrington and the North West, resulting in many of the artists making work featuring Crows and their habitats. In addition, many of the artists have touched on their own personal accounts of life, showing how even the smallest events in our lives have significance and consequences. Sculptures, painting, drawing, prints and collage are all included. These diverse artworks will also be shown alongside a number of artist’s books, plus a small library of the books that inspired the works will be available for visitors to read.
