Abi Spendlove exhibition at Clocktower

Following our series of projects that explore the collections of the St Albans Museum during its period of closure, St Albans Museums and UH Galleries have jointly commissioned artist Abi Spendlove to engage with the artefacts during spring/summer 2017. Spendlove works in a variety of mediums exploring themes of temporality, memory, process and exchange. Responding in her own way to the Museum collection, she has developed two key ideas; working with fragmented stained glass, and exploring broken objects.

Her residency culminates in an exhibition of new works at the Clock Tower in St Albans. Inspired by fragments of glass found in the Museum’s collection, Spendlove creates an installation that plays with light and colour. It aims to bring new life to and raise the status of these often overlooked small broken objects.
