Synopsis:

In this skilful, subtle and quietly disturbing debut collection, animal artefacts at the British Museum speak disquieting truths about life and loss. And at night, this unusual menagerie becomes a place of shadow, unease and open endings.

Louise Warren unearths the strange voices of objects and surprises with images that twist and change; her house unsettles us it is a skirt pulled down over her knees, a knot of hair, a fingernail it is both the place and the person that appears at the foot of the bed, tall and thin and menacing.
