A new exhibition of art inspired by found materials, particularly materials that through changes in technology have become a piece of history, will open at Erewash Museum’s Lally Gallery on 5 January.

Artist Jackie Ward’s passion is to allow materials to tell their own story, so vintage bus tickets in her ‘Tickets Please’ collection, become cameos of people waiting at bus stops; old road maps become the ‘Feet and Miles’ collection of walkers and runners; while tax discs are used to depict cyclists in a blur of colour and speed.
