Textile work by Jan Doherty

Locations is an exhibition of textile works by Jan Doherty and photographs by Ellis Roome at Assembly House in Leeds.

The show explores the feelings associated with living in two places and noticing the similarities and differences between them. Jan Doherty lives between County Durham and Leeds, while Ellis Roome lives between Leeds and Liverpool. They each take notes of different elements in their respective homes: from the greenery across the fields and parks to the urban symmetry of the local neighbourhood.

These observations fuel the artists’ work, realised in the form of photographs and quilts.
