The dusk of Warrington’s industrial era to be explored in new exhibition

An exhibition chronicling the changing face of Warrington amid the town’s fading industrial backdrop opens Friday 24th November

The artist and photographer spent 18 months drawing inspiration from Warrington’s rich industrial heritage and, in particular, the poignant closures of iconic giants like Fiddler’s Ferry and Unilever, where once hundreds of people were united through their work and shared sense of identity.

Through an array of mediums, including striking images, immersive installations and multimedia elements, the exhibition promises a multi-sensory experience that encourages self-reflection and conversation about the town’s changing character and what it means to the community.

One of the common themes running through the work includes an exploration of the connection between technological progress and isolation – the paradox in modern society where individuals can experience seclusion despite tools that allow ever growing interconnectedness.
