Original artwork description:

I have always been fascinated with cabinets of curiosity. As a small child I remember visiting a local museum which at the time had a room filled with Victorian collections. I loved the wooden cases with all the exhibits pined down and cataloged, I have a thing about organizing and this was a temple to it. I also was mortified by the cruelty of it too, it had quite an impact on me. This is a recurrent theme in my artistic process.

This is a collage made from lino printed papers cut out by hand and some embellished further with patterns like you find on china cups and plates.
