Wayward Objects

Olive is back from Mansfield Museum and Art Gallery ready for Wayward Objects rehearsals today. She’s been sitting on a chair attached to the wall for a good few weeks as part of the Green Power: Red Flags exhibition where she had some lovely responses from visitors. Before we left she enjoyed trying out the reading den I built for the My Favourite Tree exhibition, which is open now for reading and play. I converted it from a bike shed, inspired by allotment sheds and imagining Olive as its owner. I cut out skylights, created a fig tree growing over and through it, and added a wood burner made from a beer barrel donated by Welbeck Abbey Brewery. It also has a bench, beanbags and cushions, book storage inside the doors and posters about plants and wildlife.
