Through the Microscope - Secrets of Our Changing Landscape

As artists in residence at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse Museum and at the John Innes Centre (JIC), we will explore the past present and future of the Norfolk landscape using images captured through microscopes. Our research will be assisted by archivists and scientists from the John Innes bio-imaging and historic collections, the newly launched Centre for Microbial Interactions, as well as by the curator at Gressenhall, Rachel Kidd.

In spring 2025 we will launch the Through the Microscope exhibition at Gressenhall, marking 400 years of the use of the term ‘microscope’.

The project will continue to develop over the summer with art trails across the museum site created with local communities. We will also co-create artwork for a tour to three Norfolk libraries as part of a British Library's Living Knowledge Network exhibition.
