Today I went to the British Museum and the Cartoon Museum. As you can imagine two very different atmospheres. I began the day in the BM's round reading room surrounded by relics and reliquaries. The Treasures of Heaven: saints, relic and devotion in medieval Europe exhibition explored a very interesting relationship between religious beliefs and beautiful craftsmanship. I felt that there was a space missing in that the exhibition didn't explore the lives of the people who believed in these relics in much detail. I would have loved to know more about who they belonged to, their beliefs and how they lived their lives.
I spent the afternoon at the Cartoon Museum's Dr Who exhibition. Which gave me a wonderful idea about my exhibition. I have had some problems with photographing the young people at my workshops, and although I have been allowed to take photos of their work, I haven't been able to visually document them and their journey. I thought it would be wonderful to explore creating a comic of the workshops, and the young people's stories. I have heard such compelling stories from the young people, and I would love to note them down in an engaging way.
