A – By Sarah

I found this assorted collection of artefacts in a corner at the Mayday Hills Escape Rooms in Beechworth, Victoria.

Aside from the historic curiosities contained within the cabinet, I was struck by how ‘full’ this narrow space seemed; the potplant overwhelming the glass case, the heater jammed in next to it, the different leveled windows distracting the eye and skewing perspective. Even the reflected shaft of light on the floor seems to command its own attention.

(So here’s a little limerick to kick off this A-Z Challenge 😆… )

There once was a wacky glass case,
whose job was to fill up the space.
So Little Jack Horner
couldn't sit in this corner
but the light gives his shadow a chase!
