• Things from Home

  Sep 20th 2019

  An installation of contemporary ceramics inspired by the objects, landscapes and food that international students miss when they are away from home, created by award winning ceramic artist, Katrin Moye. The artist worked with international students at the University of Nottingham on an Arts Council funded project to test ideas about how objects that are missing from our lives assume a great importance in our memories. Katrin hand-built a collection of ceramic objects to recreate the missing things for their owners. The artworks are displayed throughout the Oriental Museum galleries.
