In 1997, I travelled from Prague, Moscow, St Petersburg overland on the Transiberian Express to China and then Thailand, Laos and finally Indonesia. On the way I collected scraps of paper, tickets, cigarette and match box packets, stamps, and anything that caught my eye. Below is a selection from that. I remembered this scrapbook after
Benjamin Pollock's Toy Shop asked people to share their collections on their mini social gallery in celebration of the current Barbican exhibition,
Magnificent Obsessions: The Artist as Collector. If you want to see other people's collections and find out more about the Pollock's competition and how to share your own collections, see my last
post or check out their
Facebook page.
