I guess lockdown has lead me towards wanting to design more works that are suited to the home, which I hadn’t really considered prior.
But when most of your life is spent at home you find yourself looking for new ways to feed that need for visual and sensory stimulation
and often that comes in the form of inspiring decor but with my works I also want to add an extra layer and bring a real sense of
immersion and wonder when people encounter them. Life can get pretty bland and mundane in lockdown and we all need to keep that child like
wonder alive! It’s also made me think more about creating works that are reusable and more sustainable, durable and cost effective in
the long run rather than just temporal installations.
Prior to COVID I was more focused on designing installations for events or public commissions but given the current climate I have
pivoted a little to include works that I can sell to collectors and the general public - which include these Ebb and Flow light
boxes I am showcasing for Design Fringe.
My favourite room at home is probably my bedroom just because it's super cosy and my little aesthetic haven to relax in.
Not sure if it passes as a design object but probably this graphic design print by Nicholas Girling of New York City - I brought it with the
dream of one day living there and having done that now it’s a great reminder of chasing your dreams and all that New York represents -
courage, perseverance, thinking big and all the fun and colour that comes with living in such a melting pot of cultures.
My go to cocktail is like a Moscow mule with a twist: Vodka, Apple juice (or even cider), Ginger Ale, Lime, Mint and Ice - Super
refreshing! Chai spiced apple cider is also a winner in winter.
