Artist's Corner: Journal Entry 1 by artist Helena Tomlin

As part of the 50 Jewish Objects project, in addition to 3 major artists' commissions, 10 artist will set up performances of song, dance and stage, deliver workshops, or create smaller-scale art, related to the items that I have selected from the John Rylands Library collections. Here is the first of a series of blogpost by the first artist Helena Tomlin.

I’d like to introduce myself on this Blog, which I will be adding to over the autumn and winter months. The Centre for Jewish Studies has commissioned me to make a piece of work in response to my encounter with one of the selected 50 Jewish Objects at the John Rylands Library. I am very excited and inspired by the prospect of working with the Centre on the project and will be documenting the process in my journal and sketchbooks.
