As 'artist in residence' at Lynn Museum, Norfolk, I spent time drawing in their archaeology,ethnography and social history collections (objects not normally on display). Each week the archive staff would present me with a 'mystery' object to draw in just 2-3 hours. Most were items found in Norfolk and ranged in time from 100 years to 100 million years old.. The artwork was displayed to encourage others to use the museum as a resource for creative expression.
