Doing Deco at the Dominion ,London!

On centre stage, with the exquisite  Lakshmi model extraordinaire- who wafted elegantly in a Poiret-inspired Sheherazade silk velvet manteau , a Londoner medical graduate who hails from Trinidad Tobago..hows that!!

I was invited  to display and give a speech about my work at the newly-renovated Dominion Theatre in London during Design week including a 5 million pound refurbishment in the previous Art Deco style that coincided with the TEXERE scarf show..It was a fund raiser for TEXERE,the education branch of the ETN  and a promotion for CAMAC steered by Caroline Mc Namara, including a display by design students and awards for wallpaper prints, including award winning work form australian students from Melbourne and work by Virginia Harrison..very impressive for the Australian contingent!

 A moment of glory in London..at the Dominion Theatre on the corner Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road where We Will Rock You has been playing for 10 years and rehearsals for Evita were in progress..left you can see me speaking while
the theatre manager is literally propping up the video screen due to technical problems and goes to prove the show must go on..

Upcoming workshop - at Contextart ..think Metamorphic....

 Dear students of my upcoming workshop,

 Really looking forward to meeting you all at Contextart along with my colleague assistant Cathy Moon-and getting that creative energy flowing between us!

Im also celebrating seeing my old friends after so many years and comparing notes about the course our destiny  takes  as life sweeps us along ... 

“Your hand can seize today, but not tomorrow; and thoughts of your tomorrow are nothing but desire. Don’t waste this breath, if your heart isn’t crazy, since "the rest of your life" won’t last forever.
Omar Khayyám, The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám-
This was my mothers favourite poem ..

Here is my new series inspired by precious stones and crystals ,using the elemental metamorphic forces  

of heat and compression that transform the cloth......
 See you there
at Contexart under the auspises of our awe-inspiring and sagacious leader Janet.and right hand man Jude...
