(18th Feb) Perhaps found (perhaps not)*

This is backdating to the 18th February! I am sitting here at the college going back through my professional practice sketchbook sorting out dates, only to realise I had missed details of Rik Hammonds exhibition at the Orkney Musuem. 

This format of displaying small pieces captivated me. The 'specimen bags' were fitting to the surroundings of the musuem exhibits and to that of the content of Hammonds focus of the work. 

"The exhibition is a selection of recent works inspired by Orkneys archaeological landscape- including field drawings made at the 2014 ness of brodgar and cairns project archaeological excavations, photographs and digital prints, plus a series of related video works out together especially for the exhibition. It also features a series of 150 consecutive small paintings on paper- entitled 'Perhaps found (perhaps not)*' created later in 2014 as a mediation on Orkneys archaeological landscape."

Also noticed a very ornate spinning wheel in the Orkney room at the Museum.
