Today marks the beginning of the final week for my exhibition "Mapping an Uneven Path: Stories of Health and Disability at Verulamium" at the Verulamium Museum (@stalbansmuseums). Do check it out before it's gone after next Sunday! It was an immense privilege to bring to life.

In the foreground an illustration shows a Roman man walking along a jagged path with a bandaged leg and walking staff.

The sun is shining down on Oxford today 🌞 This bowl, decorated with a human-faced sun, dates back to the 12th-century and was created in Iran. It is made from fritware, has rounded flaring sides, and is decorated with brown lustre overglaze. ⁠
