Make a time capsule to discover in the future!
This year has been a big year! We have done so many new things and overcome so many different obstacles. The world is always changing and so
are we. This might be a special year to remember in a time capsule.
A time capsule stores objects and letters from a moment in time that is hidden away or buried for discovery in the future.

At the end of 2018, Julia deVille presented her most ambitious solo exhibition to date at Linden. Titled Wholeness
and the Implicit Order,
the exhibition featured many of the artist’s signature works that combine taxidermy and jewellery. That was nearly two years ago, so we
thought it was high time we caught up with Julia to find out what she has been doing since then and how she is spending her time during lock
down.
