This essay was written to accompany an exhibition, Unboxed, at the Art Station in Saxmundham.

The old bank house flat, a former 1865 merchant’s house, became the location for UNBOXED. Bare floorboards, blank walls and opened cardboard boxes signalled the start of a new chapter. Artists were asked to work with, within and/or deliver works that could both be boxed and unboxed. The works, from the size of a matchbox to a market stall, arrived in boxes of all shapes and sizes: DHL courier, Royal Mail, and hand delivered. Artists: Thom Trojanowski, Abigail Lane, Phoebe Pryor, Ann-Marie James, Callum Palmier-Robertson Jane Watt, Srin Surti, Justin Eagle, Adam Thompson, Emily Richardson, Sara Heywood, S E Barnet, Mal Watson, Amy Drayson, Annabel Dover, Alex Pearl, Helen Rousseau, Alice-Andrea Ewing, Emily Godden, Clare Palmier, Maryse Dupin
