The Myth of Cartography

Works exhibited as part of the ‘Cabinet’ exhibition held at The Peninsula  Arts Gallery. Plymouth University. 2011

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.
