Norwich Museum -Bridewell

During our visit to the Bridewell Museum,

I was exposed to numerous machines with various functions.   In the first session, I entered the "Made in Norwich exhibition "  to  rebus puzzles. By definition, a rebus puzzle consists of a group of pictures that cryptically tell a narrative of some sorts.



Rebus from  around 1865
This image  depicts the idea of longing  through the use of imagery. The Rebus reads :"  "May I see you home my dear?"I think this is an interesting route of exploration within my own work as the Rebus above demonstrates how to convey a narrative. it is possible to simply illustrate this idea or make it obscure just by using pictures.
