THE WORKING CATALOGUE

Your curator’s
tray.

Choose up to three objects. Look for an unexpected connection, give it a few words and keep a note of what you saw.

The tray is a looking tool, not a shopping basket. All objects are fictional paintings. Filter and sort the collection; selecting a different family does not remove objects already in your tray.

    One useful question.

    Try comparing a vessel with a piece of jewellery. What changes when ornament follows a broad curve rather than the edge of a small stone? The comparison labels are prompts for observation, not measurements.

    Your selections and note last only while this page remains open. Download before leaving if you want to keep them. The file contains your chosen catalogue numbers, the visible material descriptions and your own note; it does not contain images or create a message to the site.
