This Exhibition is a MUST!

Joseph Cornell at The Royal Academy of Arts

I have waited a long time to see a retrospective of Cornell's work. 

I would visit every day, if I could.

Appearance on Japanese TV

Here is a clip from 'Zoom In Saturday', to promote my exhibition 'Dwelling' in Tokyo

It's the last chance to see this exhibition, in Tokyo. 
'Dwelling' closes 14th June, and will be touring to London in September 2015 (dates tbc).

Floral headpiece

My friend got married at the weekend.

For her wedding day, she asked me to create a paper floral headpiece, incorporating some of her favourite flowers. As her and her fiance were getting married in a place called 'The Garden Station', (a restored Victorian railway station in a woodland garden), it seemed apt to include some of the wild flowers in bloom there.

The flowers are made from paper cut from this vintage children's book.

   Here are some photos of the enchanting venue, and 'the bride' on her wedding day.
