In Their Space

In Their Space is a touring exhibition by three sculptors, Alison Cooke MRSS, Hannah Honeywill MRSS, and Rebecca Griffiths MRSS who were resident artists at The Red House, Aldeburgh between 2020-2023. The residencies were organised with Royal Society of Sculptors and the exhibition will travel to Dora House in 2025.

The Private View will take place on Saturday 30 November (12pm - 4pm). No RSVP necessary.

Each of the artists’ works in this exhibition were made in response to their individual, self-directed research projects at The Red House, Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears former home. 

Rebecca Griffiths’ sculptures explore the megastructure of the Sizewell B nuclear power station and reflects on its current and future impact on the Suffolk coastal landscape. Alison Cooke's art focuses on Britten’s carer, Rita Thomson, and the deep bond between carer and composer. Using local clay from Aldeburgh, she highlights the importance of caregivers. Through sculptures and drawings, Hannah Honeywill explores the open secret of Britten and Pears’ relationship. Her work resonates with the experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals navigating public spaces.
