Last Summer, Richard Dawson was invited by Tyne & Wear Museums to visit their vaults, and spend half an hour a piece responding to objects found there.
The Glass Trunk is a mesmerising and pungent selection of seven eerily keened faux folk songs, forced into form from scrapbook scraps and forgotten family papers, and interspersed arrestingly with the tumbling snapped shards of Rhodhri Davies’ pedal harp and Dawson’s ugly-beautiful electric guitar.
Penetrating the heart of the archive’s hidden stories, Dawson draws out hidden truths in strong bold strokes.
