To accompany his installation at the British Textile Biennial, a series of workshops took place in schools and community centres across Lancashire. Bales of secondhand clothes were shredded, allowing participants to transform secondhand clothes into a horde of miniature zombies. These invoke the ancient use of effigies in healing rituals. Come and see this army made by Jeremy Hutchison in collaboration with 364 workshop participants on 29 Northgate, Blackburn.
The artist would like to thank The Hollins (Accrington), Marsden Heights Community College (Nelson), Altham St James Church of England Primary School (Padiham), Blessed Trinity RC College (Burnley), the National Festival of Making, Burnley Canal Festival and all the participants who dedicated their time to this project.
