Ms. Mischief celebrated the 275 anniversary of Joseph Wright's birth and the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing by Apollo 11 astronauts by creating an edible orrery - the SpudOrrery. 28 SpudOrreries were infiltrated into Museum spaces. Guests were given a treasure map and clues to find them. The site specific installation was designed for Derby Museum and Art Gallery and the VIP launch of the lunar-themed Derby Feste 2009. 15 additional SpudOrreries were made for the Feste Wrap party, held at Deda.
