A Room of their Own: Still-Life Sculpture and the Creative Interior

Drawing on Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own (1928), A Room of Their Own examines the conditions and effects that facilitate creative work. A staged ladies’ writing desk anchors a still-life of carved wooden sculptural objects—domestic forms rendered with care and precision. This exhibition, comprising art from the Museum for Art in Wood’s permanent collection alongside works on loan, reflects on nourishment of thought, time, and space as supports for the inspiration, focus, and discipline required for living a creative life.
