Letty McHugh
In 2021 I received a Developing Your Creative Practice grant from Arts Council England, and went on to develop a self-published collection of images, poetry, and lyric essays which won The Barbellion Prize for Literature in 2023. My large-scale installation ‘Anchorage’ was shown at Attenborough Art Gallery from October 2022 to January 2023. In 2023, I was commissioned to work on a new artists’ book by the Brontë Parsonage Museum, which launched the Brontë Festival of Women’s Writing last autumn. I was also commissioned by Bradford Council to develop two large-scale lighting installations to be displayed in Keighley Town Centre for the BD is LIT festival, some of these installations are currently still on display.
In 2024 I am using Viking traditions of narrative tapestries and oral storytelling to create audio works with funding from an Arts Council England Project Grant.
