Colours, Community and Chemistry

A T Boyle’s family worked in the north’s factories for years, creating filaments for women’s tights, webbing for wounds and the insides of tyres, and vibrantly pigmented threads used in fashion. Four years of research resulted in the novel from Pakistan to Preston, a fictional love story about teenagers Tommy O’Reilly and Sunehri Saleem set against the backdrop of real scientific processes in the making of artificial silk from wood. From the research and stories grew this exhibition Colours, Community and Chemistry.
