I was invited to take all my dolls on a journey, to install them in the Royal West of England Academy's gallery, as part of a new drawing event. On All Soul's eve, visitors had the opportunity to explore the theme of death responding to famous paintings recreated as life drawing tableaux, and to draw my collection of still life assemblages, whilst I recounted my stories of how they came into being. The act of bundling with found, gifted and gathered materials began as part of my residency at Lacock Abbey, National Trust project, when I was installed as a sociable hermit.
