Skipton Forget Me Knots exhibition opens to the public

ArtHouse Jersey is delighted to announce the ‘Skipton Forget Me Knots’ art installation is now open to the public. Over 3,400 of Jersey’s schoolchildren have contributed to this artwork, through specially facilitated workshops, creating paper flowers while being guided by expert facilitators to explore their experiences and emotions that may have arisen since the outbreak of the pandemic earlier this year. The thousands of flowers are artistically strung together and hung against expert lighting and sound in the impressive ‘Tapestry Room’ at the Jersey Maritime Museum. The exhibition is set to  a mesmerising soundscape, a one-off commission by composer and music producer Thomas Gandey.
