Martyn Cross

'Crumbling Into Dust', Altarpiece, 2012

The exhibition 'Crumbling Into Dust' drew primarily, but not exclusively, from the long forgotten 'English Eccentrics', a 1933 publication by the avant-garde poet/genius Edith Sitwell. Subtitled 'A gallery of weird and wonderful men and women', Sitwell's strange narrative was visually reinterpreted in Cross' unique vandalised knitting patterns and other hand crafted objects.

The exhibition formed part of the Bristol Biennial 2012 and used the decommissioned Edwardian Toilets on Park Row, Bristol as part of the work.

Altarpiece.
