Bury Art Museum is interested in material that focuses on the traditional preoccupations of women. Maria Damon is a renowned poet, scholar, and academician who is based in Brooklyn, New York. Her contemporary text embroideries, which focus on the relationship between text/language, textile and the notion of exile, re-contextualise the gallery’s collection of traditional female craft. Damon’s work also further enhances Bury Art Museum’s Language Art Collection and the Bury Text Art Archives that run in collaboration between Bury Art Museum and Archives, and the Contemporary Poetics Research Centre at Birkbeck, University of London.
