The Brontë Bed
1 February 2016 - 1 January 2017 as part of Charlotte Great and Small
Tamar Stone created a miniature bed for four of the Brontë siblings - a sort of book of their domestic lives, embroidered all over with their words and displayed in the tiny room they played and sometimes slept in. In 2016, it was topped with a Charlotte Quilt, the first of four bicentenary covers for each of the Brontë siblings.
Stone is a New York artist whose work deals in women's personal stories, history and 'her-stories'. As a book artist she often uses miniature beds as a way to tell the stories of women, though the layers of bed coverings.
