Today we had to finalise a title for our exhibition. It was a much more challenging process than we had anticipated. After much discussion, and multiple suggestions we finally came up with a title that complements all of our artworks.

"Calke Abbey. Revealing the Past."

There is a nature of revealing  in all of our responses. Helen and Bryony are revealing the characters of Sir Henry Harpur Crewe and Nanette Hawkins in costume form. Through Chloe's intricately crafted leaf sculpture, the disruption caused by the natural environment is realised. Ruth reveals the role of Calke Abbey in WWII through her contemporary doll's house. Emma's hand felted animals brings focus to the seemingly unknown collection of poems written by Sir Vauncey. Emily's paper sculpture suggests the communication between Sir Henry Harpur Crewe and his house staff. The wallpaper installation brings focus to the often overlooked collection of Calke Abbey's wall coverings.
