Melaneia Warwick’s drawings were partly inspired by her love of language and her mother’s skill as a storyteller. She draws the way stories should be told except that the characters here are not people but objects spied in, then borrowed from, friends’ houses – a top hat, an angel’s dress, a jug, a stuffed bird. They’re not chosen for their formal properties (though she is drawn to organic materials like wood or clay) but for the tales they could tell. Each bibelot, whether a treasured or neglected possession, invites speculation about its history and, by association, our own: where does it come from? What has it been through? How will it be remembered?
