earth to heart: Exhibition

A 42nd Street & Manchester Craft & Design exhibition with Imprints of Earth & Lily Brown

Over the summer, artist Lily Brown in partnership with 42nd Street, and resident makers Shakti and Bhaggie Patel from Imprints of Earth explored what ‘Creativity Means to Me’. Together they reflected, played, and unearthed a series of ceramics which showcased their shared experience and drive to step into the unknown.

Lily embraces perfect imperfections in her work and finds joy in interpreting the world around her. Deeply inspired by nature, Lily translates the landscape into objects people can enjoy in their homes. Imprints of Earth are a mother and daughter duo who are passionate about creativity as a healing force. They find beauty in the unpredictability of ceramics and create one-off pieces which celebrate the imperfect and bring a little spirit to your surroundings.

“In this way, ceramics becomes a metaphor for life; recognising when to let go and finding beauty in the ashes of the unexpected” Imprints of Earth

Together Imprints of Earth and Lily have produced a series of sculptural pieces which honour our connection to nature and explore creativity. Through the unpredictability of clay, they dared to dream out loud. earth to heart invites you to do the same. What does creativity mean to you?

We are thrilled to partner with Greater Manchester’s young people’s mental health charity 42nd Street and look forward to future collaborations.
