In conjunction with Outside Arts, the Staffordshire Moorlands Women’s Line was created exclusively by 11 local women farmers. 

​

The Farmer’s Women’s Line exhibition was hung as part of the Elkstones Flower Festival in the beautiful little church. About 200 people came over the weekend which ended with a service to celebrate the festival. Then the Ashbourne brass band entertained us with a concert, and everyone ate baps and homegrown beef supplied by one of the participating farmers.

​

Visitors were curious and fascinated by the family tree portraits. Locals discovered previously unknown family and farm history connections which led to lively conversations.

​

Following this the installation was invited on tour to Longnor and Onecote where it hung for the next couple of months.
