As much a homage and testament to an extraordinary artist and collector, the core of this exhibition is a series of gorgeous, narrative stump-work embroideries of biblical scenes, from the Garden of Eden to Noah’s Ark to the Nativity. Also displayed will be a wide range of rare, unusual and esoteric works from Tom’s collection. These include furniture pieces, naïve folk art and complex and beautiful assemblages created from shells from South West Australia to North West Scotland.
