I was so happy when Tina Bernstein requested an interview. I met Tina at the “pattern collage” workshop hosted by Jotta. I was very happy to welcome her in my studio where she fired questions waiting patiently for me to answer and I think she has taken some wonderful photos of my work.

Anatomical study – Cut-outs works to be exhibited at the other art fair

Posted on April 16, 2012 | 3 Comments

I am really pleased to reveal that this new body of work will be exhibited on my stall at The Other Art Fair which takes place on the 10th – 13th of May.

The idea behind this series of 10-12 works were to explore what happens if bodies are not buried, cremated or burnt? My response is Science.

I cut various parts of the dead man’s tailoring patterns; focusing on darts and lines chalked/penciled by the cutter into A4 dimension sheets. Maclise’s 1857 dissected Victorian surgery anatomical study were then turned into pop-art vector based drawings and printed around the dart areas referencing the action of slicing – like a surgeon would into a body and a cutter would into cloth.

It is also important to highlight that the original marks of the tailor becomes an integral part of the artwork.

Jotta workshop update and my Easter weekend

Posted on April 9, 2012 | 2 Comments

I hope you had a lovely Easter weekend. I just received some photos of the workshop that I conducted hosted by Jotta to celebrate their inaugural magazine publication. It was a very intimate experience for me and I’m lucky that my first workshop was attended. I brought along different patterns (tissue home making ones and the overcoat industrial ones that I acquired). After a 20-minute presentation about my processes and methodologies – I got the four lovely ladies to get into it by making a collage – the context being something that represents Britain! It was very interesting for me to observe how they responded to the patterns and it was Debbie who pointed out that each artwork really represented the personality of the person. Well, after all we project who we are through what we make!

All in all my Easter weekend has been lovely – I had the pleasure to personally deliver one of the skulls to its new home – it’s always nice to see the space in which my art is placed. Also spent it having a scrumptious Portuguese meal with my dear Piper and an art day with my newest friend Ini.

Thanks for reading!

Thank you very much Harvey Nichols

Posted on April 3, 2012 | 3 Comments

I am so lucky to be invited by Harvey Nichols to exhibit my Fairy-God, Fashion-Mother drawings, tribute to Diane Pernet and commissioned by ATOPOS cvc, Greece. They were also kind enough to exhibit one Dead Man’s Patterns Memento Mori Skull edition No.9…A very big thanks to Kevin Knox from Sheridan&Co (my realtime fairy god mother who lent me the Easels for the show) and Paul Finucane, Emma Lindhorst, Nasrin Mostoufi & the lovely Gary Sykes (also in the photos below) from Harvey Nichols who made all this possible.

This intimate showcase is on until the 30th of April in the Personal Shopping Suites…

I’m also very thankful to my good friend John Hannah who photographed the exhibition and as always Madame Diane Pernet for her constant support of my practice.

The Other Art Fair – Breaking news

Posted on March 31, 2012 | Leave a comment

I am really excited to announce that I have been selected to represent myself at “the other art fair” hosted by Ryan Stanier. The fair gives galleries and collectors an opportunity to meet artists directly – so this is perhaps going to be a very exciting moment for me. It takes place between 10th – 13th May 2012 at P3 Ambika Space (at the University of Westminster, coincidentally it was the venue that hosted my graduation show at Westminster)…more to follow – thank you very much the other art fair for selecting me.
