Lord Peckovers Library Project 2019 opens at Peckover House and Garden.
Peckover House in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire
An exhibition celebrating Lord Peckover's life and his passion for book collecting.
His collection of rare books and manuscripts were sold off following his death in 1919. To mark the centenary of his death, Peckover House and Gardens have received a lottery grant to find the lost volumes and bring them back to the library for the first time in over 50 years.
An installation of my art-works compliment some of these returned 'lost volumes'.

I also worked with volunteers, making origami paper boats as a symbol for something they themselves had lost, and these are included in the exhibition.
