Casson is revisiting. the notebooks and journals of Modernist short story writer Katherine Mansfield who, with her husband and publisher John Middleton Murry is at the centre of Two Tigers, a show exploring her life and creativity.
Before becoming a writer, Mansfield thought of training to be a professional cellist and music flows through her sensually evocative descriptions.
A new collaboration with LCB Photography, Music & Mansfield, explores this musical awareness in a series of specially chosen quote & picture tweets.
