A STUDY CONTINUES.............

I had posted the Julio triptych a while back. It was repro’ed as wall art for anthropologie last year. since then it has had a couple of revivals. I love seeing how the color and depth of the art changes from one substrate to another. the tamsin bent wood chair is one of their company classics and I love the sleekness of the surface and the juxtapose of the watercolor art. the junius rug offers a richness and sheen that is prevalent in many fibre arts. it offers a deeper complexity and a progression of the original piece that I love.

FROM PATTERN TO PRODUCT..................

I’ve been designing product for a long time now, but I still get a thrill of seeing my artwork on a finished item. I used to design a lot of stationery but not for a while, so it was nice to see these come to life. The artworks were pattern play studies that I’d pulled from one of my vast “ elemental” files where I keep all those little bit and pieces I don’t want to part with
