After a scenic trip on the Great Western, as soon as we landed in Torquay installation of the Agatha Christie exhibition began. I hear the show is popular with visitors, which gives me a warm glow.

Only a few days to go until we install the new Agatha show. Curator Alice Graham and I have been working on it intensively since spring, so it’s great to see the work coming to fruition.
The show takes a fresh angle on her life and centres around the work she did with her husband: archaeologist Max Mallowan. Many times I’ve laughed aloud while designing - it’s her wonderful tales and quotes, you see... it seems Agatha is world famous for good reason! The star objects are original transcripts of her poetry, which are a revelation.
In a lovely full circle moment, I was already an admirer of hubby Mallowan. Since childhood I’ve visited the British Museum to gaze at the Assyrian reliefs he excavated. This led me to studying archaeology at UCL, where he was a professor in earlier days.
Right! Must be off to pack my tape measure, masking tape and toothbrush.

This summer, once again I had the pleasure of working with Alice Graham on the touring show Agatha Christie, Unfinished Portrait. We worked together to deliver the show for the International Agatha Christie Festival. Click the link below for a great video made by The Shorely – you can see me in the background, working alongside Alice and the amazing James and Josh from Art Works Exhibition Services. The show was on at Torre Abbey until 24 November.
