Collaboration with Cuemars

Goodbond (the production and design arm of Cuemars) and I decided to collaborate on Stillness during the first lockdown here in the UK. My studio was out of bounds at the time and I was working from home like many other people. This period, uneasy for everybody, came with some positives which I wanted to emphasise: A pause, perhaps a better connection to the seasons, and some aspects of tranquillity. This design then, is an enchanted take on familiar domestic things, highlighting them and celebrating our private existences.

Stillness incorporates more pinks and yellows than my work on paper and we've tweaked the greens in order to make the most of the dyed cotton thread which the throw is woven from. I've organised the elements of the image so that they work in any orientation. Whichever way the sun, moon and figures are presented, I hope that they are domestically blissful and a little bit magical too.
