Bassetlaw Museum is delighted to present an exhibition of drawings and paintings created in response to its collection and the stories of the communities it serves.
The works are by an artist whose practice is rooted in Britain's regional history and heritage. Living in Central London, within walking distance of the Thames, she is drawn not to the capital's well-trodden landmarks but to the quieter, richer stories found beyond it – places with depth and texture that reward close attention. Bassetlaw, and its remarkable museum, offered exactly that.
The exhibition reflects a wide range of the museum's themes: from the local cinemas and mining, to royal charters and the story of the Mayflower. Autochrome photography, farming life and the energy industry, all find their way into the work. Unusually for the artist, several pieces include children — inspired by vivid accounts of growing up on a local farm, and by the museum's toy and school collections.
