Community Triptych
Commissioned by South Petherton Community Hospital
Commissioned as a permanent artwork to mark the opening of a brand new community hospital in South Somerset.
The piece was produced by local young people working with photographer and digital image maker Richard Tomlinson. The piece combines ‘found’ photographs of South Petherton from the 1900s to the 1980s. Participants commented on how the location hadn’t changed that much in 100 years but couldn’t believe the how fashions had changed, one participant commenting:
“all the men, and even the boys, are wearing shirts and ties just to go down to the shops!”
The artwork also includes images of old post cards, letters and maps in addition to contemporary images made by the participants.
