Early on in the residency Tabitha was drawn to the pathos surrounding the small mummy of a young girl. She gathered together a number of different dolls and materials, and worked on the pieces as a group, spending time thinking about the choice of material and ties appropriate for each. In this way they evolved slowly and as a group. By then placing them amongst the artefacts in the display cases in the Egyptology collection, she set up intriguing connections. Each doll had its own accession label, which provoked the viewer into questioning the narrative behind the artefact – what role did this doll play in Bolton in 2004?
