A day trip to London starting off at the quietly
delightful Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green did much to restore my faith in
the explorative and expansive power of art. It has been a bit of a discouraging
time with my intervention at Woodbridge Museum. The narrow mindedness of a
small but vocal number of the Woodbridge population simply refusing to be open
to something different disturbing the dust. In contrast the exhibition ‘Treasured
Collections’ was in pride of place in the Museum foyer recognising the value of
collaboration with various artists. The exhibition paid homage to the collector
in many of us bringing new ideas and new ways of looking at some of these
collected objects through the introduction of new ‘treasures’ alongside the
old.
As I passed my wrapped mower ‘Cut’ left outside to
map the changes wrought by time and weather I can only hope that some will have
paused to take a second look and a moment to wonder.
