Placing
illustration within a practical situation is a big interest of mine
so I like to work with other people on creating functional household
products that not only have a practical use within the home but also
are decorated with illustrative artwork and not just ‘pretty
decorative pictures’. Using my images based on the conflicting
/harmonious relationships of nature with the urban environment I create
decorative work with a sinister edge.
Japanese
style window screen, screen printed paper design on a dark
blue painted wood. These are made to order in collaboration
with furniture designer, D.H. Painter and price depends on
dimensions of each individual screen. 150cm x 80cm
Another
collaboration with D.H. Painter, a padded cube seat made by
the use of recycled four pint milk containers. I created the
screen printed, machine and hand stitched cover. Also made
to order but takes time due to the nature of collecting enough
material.
