Ossuary
On a Friday in June 2016, one hundred and ten ossuary boxes were interred in their final resting place at St. Aidan’s Church, Bamburgh. These boxes contain the remains of those exhumed at the Bowl Hole burial site and represent the lives of those who lived there 1,400 years ago when Bamburgh was the cosmopolitan centre of the Golden Age of Northumbria.
Kim was commissioned to create artwork in response to the words of nine commissioned poets who visited the ossuary, for the booklet A Hut a Byens published by Newcastle Centre for the Literary Arts, Newcastle. She also made a book of the drawings accompanied by her own text.
