From gingham fabric samples to homemade dolls houses, Valentine's Day cards to Neolithic seed samples, FOUND creates an eclectic collection of objects, stories, and artistic responses that reflect the different ways we experience, and love, museums. FOUND is a poetry and visual art project responding to objects on display at the Museum of Norwich, Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse, and Time and Time Museum of Great Yarmouth Life. Since January, writer Daisy Henwood has been working with community groups and the general public to identify people's favourite objects and bring their stories to life through poetry. JMCAnderson has created an installation in response to the poems created to enhance their visual clues and broaden the dialogue. With clever word, colour and image play, the work captures fragments from the collection of poems, taking the viewer on a whimsical and thought-provoking journey, captivating the imagination. Entrance to the exhibition is included in admission
