Research based in 17th Century Portsoken Ward, Aldgate, London. The London Archives As part of my Arts Council 'Develop Your Creative Practice ' research I visited The London Archives and looked at the 17th Century parish records of St Botolphs Without Aldgate in Portsoken Ward, London. I found and fell in love with the writings of 'John Clerke The Parish Clarke'. Since researching I have started to create new work: 17th Century London .

Creating a character and backstory for the original creator of The Museum of Curious Memories. The Archivist I am in the midst of creating a large interactive piece of work called ‘The Museum of Curious Memories ’. A seemingly endless collection of memories stored in bottles, boxes and books. As a back story for its creation I ventured to the beginnings of Museum History and 17th Century London . Looking through parish registers, vestry books, archives and maps. I’ve chosen specific places and times, invented characters and gathered real historical objects to make the story feel inhabited rather than imagined.

During the winter of 2019 I experienced a period where I wasn't able to sleep. I filled the time by crosshatching on an old pianola roll. The Pianola Roll During the winter of 2019 I experienced a period where I wasn't able to sleep. I filled the time by crosshatching on an old pianola roll. Working on a section at a time, I only ever saw what would fit on my table. As the work progressed I realised there was much more paper than I had thought. It took many many hours to complete and is my largest piece of work to date. It has the same level of detail as my Miniature Artworks but in comparison the size is enormous. I initially tried to measure it by unravelling it from the top the stairs at The Regency Town House in Hove - four flights up and it was still too long. Instead I measured in sections. The Pianola Roll is 691 inches or 57.58333 feet long, which is 17.5514 metres or around the height of three giraffes. Exhibited as part of the 3am Project online exhibition in 2022 Online Exhibition responding to the ideas of sleepless nights and nocturnal offerings. 'The Pianola Roll' was one of just fifteen works awarded as a highly commended.

The beginning of a love affair with Museum research. A Fascination with Museum Labels Through Yvonne's work in Arts for Health and Wellbeing, and her interest in Museums and Collections, she attended an online event summit with Museum Next . From this she became aware of Screen South’s project supporting disabled people leading in museums. Curating for Change - a groundbreaking project with 16 D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent curatorial Trainees and Fellows, working in museums across England to uncover new stories in collections. The short film below is an edited and updated version of the application she created for the first round of curatorial fellowships organised by Curating for Change, in partnership with the Horniman Museum .
