DUST an artist led project set up by Lucy Willow in 2020 has been operating from an old shop in Penzance.

The shop brought together artefacts, objects, artworks and research relating to death and grief. The shop also borrowed work to exhibit by artists, writers and poets, relating to death and grief as a way to generate conversation. The aim was to create a multi-disciplined shop as a platform for conversation about death and our relationship to the dead to take place. This chapter of the project has now come to an end. The physical space of DUST has moved to join forces with The Museum of Magic and Folklore in Falmouth run by Steve Patterson. 

DUST related conversations and events will now happen in there. 

 

Emily found lost and broken things and displayed them in the window, so their owners could come and collect them; the shop did not sell anything. The toys discussed what the new object was; someone (usually Madeleine) would tell a story related to the object.
