Full description
TRYAL OF WITCHES
On 27th August 1645, 18 people (16 women and 2 men) were killed in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. These were ordinary folk who perished at the hands of Matthew Hopkins the prolific Witchfinder General. They would have lived close to and been dependant on the land and been in tune with the seasons. Hence, I wanted to elevate their stories with this art piece. The Saffron background is indicative of the typical pigments that the timber framed buildings of the area were painted in. These women would have been involved in the cottage industries bringing in vital income to support their children. Many trades flourished as a result of the hysteria that gripped Europe propelled by the invention of the printing press and books such as the Malleus Maleficarum so there was much money to be made from sentencing these women and often other women, the "Prickers,' were drawn in to implement the brutal means by which witches were identified.
