It's fiddly work labelling the Harold and Pat Whitehouse stereoscopic (3D) moss and liverwort slides. Each is given an individual accession number added by hand using conservation grade material and ink.
The Whitehouse 3D photographic slide collection includes images of birds, plants and fungi taken by renowned twentieth century stereoscopic photographer, Patricia (Pat) Whitehouse. However, the majority of the non-flowering mosses and liverworts in the collection were taken by her husband Harold, after she died, using a camera she had built. He aimed to systematically capture as many of the UK’s 1000+ moss and liverwort species as he could.
The 3,600 slides were made by hand; left and right images were joined together so that the resulting 3D image could be seen using a projector or hand-held viewer. Many images are of plants now preserved in Amgueddfa Cymru’s collections, making a unique resource for natural history, photography and education.
Val took the image and fiddled with the brightness/RGB curves until she could see *something* at least. Not too bad

"The sculpture plays with the concept of unpredictability. The work is bold and colourful with reference to many experiences that the viewer brings to the work. It helps to tell their story." SWELL Program
