Holding Shards

By Holly Slingsby 2024

Holding Shards is a performance-to-camera video work exploring iconoclasm, loss, and the hope of transformation. The protagonist is a smashed stained-glass saint, who performs gestures of tenderness, lament and wonder. Filmed on location primarily in Wales, the work takes the viewer into places of ritual and regrowth.
