1) As requested, the next few days posts will focus on the wall art section of the #chronicleofcuriosities exhibition currently under lockdown @whitbymuseum
The wall pieces are ink illustrations on vintage encyclopaedia pages, inspired by the extensive and often over-looked 2) library archive within the museum. Each piece has been expertly framed by the talented Antony Bentley, based in Kirkbymoorside.
This illustration is a leech, inspired by the Tempest Prognosticator.

1) had planned on releasing images of my #chronicleofcuriosities exhibition @whitbymuseum , to encourage people to visit this amazing museum and take a look themselves. Sadly, this is not to be. In the overall scheme of things,it pales in comparison to the greater concerns we are 2) all dealing with. However, both myself and the incredibly dedicated museum staff put a huge amount of effort into putting this exhibition together, so over the next few days I'll be posting an online guide to the work we did. Huge thanks to all who helped, those who attended
