HERMES

Overdue with my blog update yet again, so I will quickly wizz through my most recent news. Firstly Origin, went amazingly. It was second year exhibiting at the show and so far my sales are up on last year. I am currently swamped with orders but loving it.
Also during the hectic week of selling at Origin I was installing Hermes window displays. At Origin by day and at Hermes Stores by night. quite an exhausting week but the most exciting too.
So how did this Hermes commission come about? all thanks to Origin last year, I met a lovely lady, Becky Cocks at the show who is a stylist for Hermes. I worked in conjunction with Becky to produce the nationwide Hermes windows for October/November. "Hermes, contemporary artisan since  1837" was the theme, so all window drawing were produced with this slogan in mind. My drawings are currently installed in Hermes stores at New Bond St, Sloane St, Royal Exchange, Manchester and Brown Thomas in Dublin. Please if your passing, do have a look in and I'd love feedback too. Here are some installing shots......



Such a great commission to get and it was great fun working with Becky Cocks, production team Creea and Hermes of course. If you don't get chance to see them, here are some photos, hope you like.........

  6. I came across your Hermes display when visiting London for the Frieze last year....I was totally blown away by your work....in fact I took loads of photos and felt that it should have had it's own stand at the Frieze!!! I love the simplicity of your choice of materials that come alive under your hands.

    just going to add you to my Fine art degree sketch book - I too am drawn to textiles, especially thread and drive my lecturers crazy by always incorporating it within my work.....they choose the words ...craft...my mojo's a 'tad lacking at the moment and I was looking at your work for inspiration.
