Food residue, insects and mould. Usually conservator Stefania Signorello would want to clean such things off the items in her care. But Audrey Amiss’s scrapbooks were different and provided a new challenge. In this film, she explains why it was so important to preserve the scrapbooks as Audrey created them and how her skills were put to the test in caring for this unique collection.
This short film is part of Finding Audrey Amiss
Living in and out of psychiatric hospitals, the artist Audrey Amiss documented her everyday life in a striking visual diary. When she died, her family donated her archive of hundreds of scrapbooks, sketchbooks and notebooks to Wellcome Collection. In this series, archivist Elena Carter writes about cataloguing and caring for the collection to understand the artist’s life, which is also the subject of the feature film ‘Typist Artist Pirate King’, directed by Wellcome Screenwriting Fellow Carol Morley.
