Found diary (Tracing potential owners) is an installation that evolved from finding a 2007/2008 diary on the streets of Bath. By taking a seemingly harmless act of attempting to locate an owner, this piece manages to highlight both the way in which a person's identity can be compounded into a simple set of assumptions about their life, as well as the irrational and obsessive nature of the human psyche.

The piece delves head first into a film noir adventure, taking on the role of obsessive sleuth and 'collector' in a quest for the elusive Miranda Sherriff. Whether or not this character exists or whether she is based in some part on fact becomes less important than the observer, their own accounts of life that exist as diaries of a diary, and the act of unsuccessfully attempting to find 'her'.
