The TAPLINS

8th November – 1st December

The Taplin family home, set slightly back on a sandy road leading down to the river at Wivenhoe, might easily be renamed Cornucopia. Inside, past the faded painted panelling, the low succession of rooms is chock-a-block with extraordinary things. Outsized wooden sculptures, model ships, flags, plates and paintings jostle for space and light. It is a place of treats, where your eyes dart hungrily from one thing to another; a place where the created object has been judiciously savoured and hallowed, where the sheer making of things is a joy to behold.
