From May – November 2006, Kay Goodridge worked as artist in residence at the Leper Chapel. During this time, she spent time in the Chapel, “soaking up” the atmosphere, taking photos, making films and learning about its long history.
She also interviewed people from the local community about their experiences of the Chapel. She was particularly moved by the Mass of Separation – a mass performed by the priest that ritualised the separation of lepers from the rest of society.
In November she brought together the various strands of her ideas in a final installation of sound, film and photography.

This residency was supported by the National Lottery Awards For All Scheme.
