Jane Wildgoose is an artist, writer and broadcaster who works with collections and museums, exploring the narratives to be found in remains of all kinds. In 2005 she received a NESTA Fellowship to develop her role as Keeper of The Wildgoose Memorial Library, her own private collection of found and made objects and books. In 2006 Wildgoose was commissioned by the Yale Center for British Art to celebrate the friendship between Mary Delany and the 2nd Duchess of Portland in a site-specific installation to accompany the exhibition 'Mrs. Delany and her Circle'. The resulting highly acclaimed work is currently on view at the Yale Center until July, and was also shown in an adapted version at the Soane Museum earlier this year. 'Life is Very Sweet' is an expansion of her research into the Duchess.
