Collections

I have always collected objects that interest me - usually either natural objects or items that have a history and story to them, often items that have been discarded and left unloved. Multiple objects have always interested me with their subtle differences between each one. This project looks at why we collect and how. The project is an ongoing collaboration between myself printmaker Hester Cox and ceramicist Charlotte Morrison. You can see more on our website. You can view the film that is the background to the project here.
