Description
Deeply disenchanted with their lot as steel sculptors, Pam and Roy are driven by forces both unseen and of their own making to embark upon a long and tough battle to change the status quo. What they cannot know is that in achieving their perceived goal, they will also achieve an entirely unexpected and extraordinary outcome.
Following a series of traumatic exhibition experiences, Roy becomes embittered and Pam is haunted by an indefinable presence as their situation reaches intolerable levels, driving them to take a radical and life-changing decision. They must create a way to go it alone.
This brings them back to facing a more familiar battleground, the protection of steel sculpture against the invasion of rust. Fully aware of the treatments which could be employed to provide greater protection against the elements, the financial cost is way beyond their capability. So they must accept the life-long commitment to endless, regular renovation of their sculptures. But then an event occurs, simultaneously providing an astonishing solution alongside a whole new set of problems. They enter completely unknown territory.

Person
Pam Brown
1946-2023
Pam Brown spent most of her life working in steel sculpture. Alongside her husband, sculptor Roy Kitchin, she co-founded and ran The Ironbridge Open Air Museum of Steel Sculpture in Coalbrookdale, Shropshire, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. In the last 20 years, she moved into creating cast iron pieces, both in the USA and at home in the UK and explored digital landscape printmaking.
At the same time, she began writing her semi-autobiographical novel, Rust Never Sleeps, drawing inspiration from her own diaries and experiences navigating the art world. Talking Feet is Pam's second novel.
