SUMMARY:Dragons & Snakestones - An exhibition of photography by Jamie Dormer-Durling
DESCRIPTION:Dragons & Snakestones – An exhibition of photography by Jamie Dormer-Durling\, celebrating Mary Anning\, History’s Pioneer of Palaeontology. 27th May opening 6.00pm – 8th June at Weston Museum \nYou might have seen the 2020 film Ammonite. The film is loosely inspired by the life of British palaeontologist Mary Anning\, played by Kate Winslet. It’s is also suspected she inspired the tongue twister ‘She sells; seashells on the seashore’. \nMary Anning\, born 1799\, was a fossil hunter and palaeontologist from Lyme Regis in the UK. Her discoveries and insights contributed to the identification and classification of a wide range of prehistoric life and changed scientific understanding of the history of the Earth.  \nAs a woman born to a poor family\, she was denied fellowship of the scientific communities of the day\, her work often credited to the men that dominated the field.  \nIn recent years her story has become well-known\, particularly around the broader historic social injustices that her case highlights\, yet information and evidence about her is fragmentary. The handful of letters and notebooks which survive reveal the extent of her knowledge\, give glimpses into her state of mind\, and act as a stark reminder of her poverty and relentless\, solitudinous labour. \nToday she is acknowledged in the museums and collections that hold her work\, though often credited as a collector\, rather than as the field palaeontologist and scientific thinker that she was. Throughout her life\, she leaves us written evidence of the connections she made\, questioning established thought of the time. In a letter written in 1844 – fifteen years before the publication of ‘On the Origin of Species’ – she anticipated the fundamental basis of Darwin’s theory of evolution. \nFor this photographic exhibition\, photographer Jamie Dormer-Durling spent considerable time alone with some of the fossils. He began looking for traces she left in this space. On the fossils he saw marks from her tools; on her drawings\, correspondence and notebooks. In the photo’s he has captured evidence of her thinking in intimate ways and physical marks left behind by a remarkable woman.

SUMMARY:Dragons & Snakestones - An exhibition of photography by Jamie Dormer-Durling
DESCRIPTION:Dragons & Snakestones – An exhibition of photography by Jamie Dormer-Durling\, celebrating Mary Anning\, History’s Pioneer of Palaeontology. 27th May opening 6.00pm – 8th June at Weston Museum \nYou might have seen the 2020 film Ammonite. The film is loosely inspired by the life of British palaeontologist Mary Anning\, played by Kate Winslet. It’s is also suspected she inspired the tongue twister ‘She sells; seashells on the seashore’. \nMary Anning\, born 1799\, was a fossil hunter and palaeontologist from Lyme Regis in the UK. Her discoveries and insights contributed to the identification and classification of a wide range of prehistoric life and changed scientific understanding of the history of the Earth.  \nAs a woman born to a poor family\, she was denied fellowship of the scientific communities of the day\, her work often credited to the men that dominated the field.  \nIn recent years her story has become well-known\, particularly around the broader historic social injustices that her case highlights\, yet information and evidence about her is fragmentary. The handful of letters and notebooks which survive reveal the extent of her knowledge\, give glimpses into her state of mind\, and act as a stark reminder of her poverty and relentless\, solitudinous labour. \nToday she is acknowledged in the museums and collections that hold her work\, though often credited as a collector\, rather than as the field palaeontologist and scientific thinker that she was. Throughout her life\, she leaves us written evidence of the connections she made\, questioning established thought of the time. In a letter written in 1844 – fifteen years before the publication of ‘On the Origin of Species’ – she anticipated the fundamental basis of Darwin’s theory of evolution. \nFor this photographic exhibition\, photographer Jamie Dormer-Durling spent considerable time alone with some of the fossils. He began looking for traces she left in this space. On the fossils he saw marks from her tools; on her drawings\, correspondence and notebooks. In the photo’s he has captured evidence of her thinking in intimate ways and physical marks left behind by a remarkable woman.

And one of the best ways to have fun drawing is by doodling cartoons. Cartoons don’t have to look ‘right’\, in fact they are supposed to look silly. I should know\, I’ve been drawing sillily for years. And now I get to open a brilliant exhibition of all that silliness. I hope lots of you will come and visit – and hopefully be inspired to pick up a pencil and draw too. Because you never know where your doodles could take you!” \nMARTIN BROWN: HORRIBLE HISTORIES AND OTHER DAZZLING DRAWINGS\nMartin Brown is among the most accomplished cartoonists of his generation. Since 1993 Martin has illustrated Horrible Histories\, working with author Terry Deary to create one of the best-loved series of children’s books ever published.

SUMMARY:The World of Martin Brown: Horrible Histories and Other Dazzling Drawings
DESCRIPTION:The World of Martin Brown: Horrible Histories and other Dazzling Drawings\nExhibition opening at Weston Museum Summer 2022\nThis summer visitors to Weston Museum can discover an inspirational array of cartoons and art by the Horrible Histories illustrator Martin Brown in the major exhibition The World of Martin Brown: Horrible Histories and other Dazzling Drawings. \nSee the original covers for some of the Horrible Histories and discover more of Martin’s work from his beginnings as a humorous graphic artist and fan of cartoons. The Horrible Histories books\, written by Terry Deary\, were launched in 1993 and are now world bestsellers. They have inspired TV series\, stage shows\, exhibitions and even a feature film. The series re-launched in 2021 with new titles including the history of flight ‘Up in the Air’. \nMartin said: “The most important thing about drawing is enjoying it – having fun. And one of the best ways to have fun drawing is by doodling cartoons. Cartoons don’t have to look ‘right’\, in fact they are supposed to look silly. I should know\, I’ve been drawing sillily for years. And now I get to open a brilliant exhibition of all that silliness. I hope lots of you will come and visit – and hopefully be inspired to pick up a pencil and draw too. Because you never know where your doodles could take you!” \nMARTIN BROWN: HORRIBLE HISTORIES AND OTHER DAZZLING DRAWINGS\nMartin Brown is among the most accomplished cartoonists of his generation.
