Rozanne Hawksley: Captain Thomas Coram and Mr George Frideric Handel

Textile artist Rozanne Hawksley presents an installation on an eighteenth-century refectory table in the museum's committee room that explores the Foundling Hospital's lottery procedure for the admission of children. The table is swathed in cream cloth with a cuffed glove at each end – representing philanthropists Coram and Handel – and bears a drawing of the hospital's main gate and a map of London's streets.
