The Myth of Cartography
Works exhibited as part of the ‘Cabinet’ exhibition held at The Peninsula Arts Gallery. Plymouth University. 2011
In the summer of 2010 thirteen architects, designers and makers from Plymouth University’s Architecture and Design department were given unprecedented access to the collections of the city’s museum. Culminating in the exhibition at the Peninsula Arts Gallery, the aim of the collaboration was to reconsider our preconceptions of the museum as an oversized storage facility and how our access to its artefacts might be newly understood. I was lucky to be one of those thirteen and as a result of my visits produced the two allegorical drawings below.
