As a child, I was actually interested in bones. I wanted to know why they were there, what they did, and I had very tolerant parents who let me bring back the occasional dead animal that I' d find beside the road. They gave me a patch of ground in the garden to bury these things, and I' d leave them for weeks and months, dig them up, take a look at the bones, and started to buildup a little reference collection. Bones for me are interesting because they tell you the story of the animals' life, they give you an insight into the behaviour of the animals. There are always going to be those times when you open a cabinet and you' re faced with something for the first time and it just completely stops you. I found a crate in the storeroom which was completely unlabelled, no information with it at all, just one small note. This is the inflated dried heart of a young sperm whale. |
