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.
