Curiosity
Cabinets of the 19th century contained a strange assortment of objects
- from the curious to the exotic. Their aim was not so much to catalogue
objects as to present a philosophical idea of the world at that time -
a mirror in a microcosm. ‘Cabinets for Emily’ contains my
collection of ‘things seen’ in the life and work of Emily
Dickinson who is regarded as one of the great American poets of the 19th
century. |
