Pilgrim Woman is the creation of a new sculpture using the story of families arrested and held in Boston jail in the early 17th century.

The project engaged women living in Lincolnshire from both immigrant and non immigrant background, working with an ancient method of weaving on a Lucet in a series of workshops both physical and virtual to engage women in semi rural areas.

The bronze sculpture of two female figures bound together was exhibited in a new exhibition at Lincoln Museum, to shine a light on the historical bondage of women to a male counterpart and open a dialogue for the role of women today.

Installed in Summer 2023 the Pilgrim Woman will provide a thought provoking new sculpture inspired by the past but prompting reflection on contemporary Boston.
