Artist: Jessica Hargreaves

Jessica Hargreaves was busy casting interesting cracks in the pavement and engravings on gravestones with pewter. The public were especially intrigued with what Jessica was doing as it’s not an activity or material many people had been aware of before.

Jessica created unique pilgrim badges inspired by the tokens made and given to religious pilgrims in the 15th and 16th century to sew onto their clothing. Being particularly interested in the idea of journeys, Jessica spent most of the day walking around the Cathedral square searching for interesting places to cast her badges.

The finished pieces were sewn onto the fabric and displayed on a tree in the square.
