Following the success of her exhibition The Curious Nature of Objects on the Museum's lower gallery in early 2011, American artist Sue Johnson returns to the Pitt Rivers to show fifteen new works inspired by images of familiar types of ethnographic and archaeological objects in the illustrated catalogue of General Pitt-Rivers’s ‘second’ collection. Working in gouache, watercolour, and pencil on paper, and drawing on her extensive knowledge of natural history illustration, museums, and archives, Johnson redisplays and reorders familiar objects in new contexts and new juxtapositions. Sue Johnson is an associate of the 'Rethinking Pitt-Rivers' project funded by The Leverhulme Trust (2009–2012).
