Nano Nagle Place, Museum in a Box, 2017
Discovering stories ourself is extremely satisfying.
In 2015, Nano Nagle Place, Cork offered me a scholarship to study narratology and material culture in Crawford/CIT.
One of the items I produced was a Museum in a Box. The box contained fifteen objects which, when examined, revealed fifteen stories about women living in Cork during the late eighteenth century. The box was aimed as school students.
A series of clues in the form of facsimile newspaper cuttings and letters were provided.

An example of the items produced to communicate one of the stories. This tale is about a woman and her lover who wished to poison her husband. She wrote a note to the lover asking him to buy more poison. The lover was illiterate and asked somone to read him the letter. A policeman was standing nearby and overheard the plan. The couple were sentenced to time in the pillory.
