This Little Furniture Stack collage is now available as a print!
When I came to photograph it it sat perfectly in my house, stacks of things and domesticity everywhere.
Here it is on top of the piano with all the books and a piece of charmingly painted bark.
And in the studio with all the detritus including some of my sons influence - a bean bag and at the right a game that involves a target and pins
You can buy the print, framed or unframed, in the shop now.
This is happening on Saturday!
And yes that is my work on the poster, what a darned privilege.
Garden Folk is a wonderful enterprise run by great people. Head to their website and buy their greeting cards to support the cause if you can't make it.
I have some serious fondness for Orcas Paley, they stock my cards and are so friendly. You can tell they just love running their shop. So when they approached me to put a piece in their upcoming show entitled 'Vide Poche' my mind immediately started whirring.
For the exhibitions I made two mobiles; a little one called 'Tip of my Tongue' and a big one called 'Toe of my Pocket'.
I made cut-out illustrations of the kind of things that might gather at the bottom of a pocket: sweet wrappers, combs, twigs, pins, bracelets, pebbles and pencils and set them on brass rods with linen thread.
A coat pocket specifically.
They move beautifully and say something, I think; just softly though.
I loved seeing the trozzle rise slowly up off my desk, like a load of everyday objects had reached enlightenment.
The intrigue spanned the species.
