An art display made up of 700 shirts donated by islanders is hanging up in town.

The project has been put together by ArtHouse Jersey as part of their Butterfield Public Art Series, in collaboration with Finnish artist Kaarina Kaikkonen.

Islanders were asked to donate shirts that have sentimental value to them, with many sharing the stories behind the shirts.

Some donations and accompanying stories submitted to the project

Arthouse Jersey Director Tom Dingle tells us some of his favourite stories people have decided to share: 

"We have had a range of memories and stories that have come with the shirts from people donating items of clothing from someone who has departed.

"We've got garments from islanders who used to wear them but have then gone on a fitness journey and lost a lot of weight.

"Equally, we have had one or two where people have said- 'this is my ex partner's shirt and I don't want it anymore!"

The artwork,called 'Dancing Together' will be up for islanders to view in St Helier until October. 

It will then be moved to the ArtHouse Jersey exhibition space at Capital House where it will be open to the public from 7 November.

Here people are invited to come and read the stories behind the shirts. 

They can also be viewed online.
