People Play by Alice Irwin at the Piece Hall

Commissioned by The Piece Hall Trust in partnership with The Artworks, Arts Charity Dean Clough and Yorkshire Sculpture Park [YSP] and funded by Arts Council England through its National Lottery Project Grants programme, Irwin has created a new body of work based on her bold, colourful and distinctive printed characters, with a reference to the former mill town’s textile heritage. Stepping off the page, this ambitious installation features nine individual sculptures that take over the courtyard of the former cloth hall, with a further two on display at Dean Clough and The Artworks, encouraging visitors to further explore.
