BRIEF DESCRIPTION = A Body of Work’: New Stirchley Exhibition Explores Women’s Health Through Recycled Printmaking.

An exhibition of prints exploring one woman’s experience of illness, grief and recovery opens at Stirchley Library on Friday 9 October. ‘A Body of Work’ by local artist Lorraine Loveland-Armour uses recycled Tetrapak packaging to create intricate prints exploring women’s health, identity and wellbeing. The exhibition opens with a launch event at the Open Page Gallery from 6.30–8.30pm on Friday 9 October.

‘A Body of Work’ by Lorraine Loveland-Armour is an intensely personal journey that illustrates grief, trauma and illness but also recovery, hope and legacy.

Lorraine was inspired to create a visual health history after losing both her parents and mother-in-law during the pandemic in 2020. Lorraine wanted to celebrate her mother’s long career as a nurse while ensuring that her own story was recorded to pass on to her son, Lukas.
