Harvest Wain Procession, 2015

Caitlin Heffernan

I was commissioned by Metal arts in Peterborough http://www.metalculture.com/projects/harvest-festival/, to respond to the Harvest festival. My piece was processioned through the town centre as part of a folkloric ritual, celebrating women as part of the Harvest festival.

My inspiration came from Peterborough cathedral ceiling, which featured medieval diamond shaped portraits. I created a series of processional cloths with the diamond motif, and capes adorned with symbolic fruits, vegetables and female pagan imagery, to highlight and celebrate women.

Dark Harvest, 2014

Matt Rowe

Working on behalf of Strange Cargo for the Cheriton Lights Festival Matt Rowe has developed a series of installations, projections and sculptural assemblages that seek to reignite something of Cheriton’s rural past. Appearing in shop windows and on house fronts, the works infiltrate the town, transforming the locality with imagery from traditional folk rituals and celebrations. Collaborating with local residents Rowe has developed over fifty window displays. Central to each display is a contemporary corn dolly or corn mother.
