Overview

Through rituals of discovery – such as mudlarking, beachcombing, dump digging and fieldwalking – discarded, broken and forgotten pieces of history find new value and meaning. Fragment Found brings together 157 finders and 14 writers to delve into the ways in which pottery fragments connect us to the past, the land and each other. From these collectively-sourced sherds have grown works of fiction, history and reflection; factual and fanciful. The stories they tell meander in many directions, taking us on journeys; be that to a detritus-filled creek in Pennsylvania or to a charity shop in Devon. Along the way, we are kept company by people real and imagined – from family members to a Greek prophetess, as well as the many people whose hands these found artefacts have passed through before our own.
