Conversation is Collaboration

The Norwegian-born, Paris-based knitwear designer Siri Johansen of Waste Yarn Project met artist Celia Pym on the fifth floor of the Royal College of Art in 2007. Johansen was studying men’s knitwear and Pym, who was enrolled on the mixed media textiles course, had just started the mending practice for which she has become renowned. The pair have been engaged in a constant, long-form creative exchange ever since. Theirs is a friendship fuelled by creativity and curiosity.

After years of renting holiday villas with family and friends, Swiss interior designer Iria Degen chanced upon the opportunity to create her own ideal holiday home when a large plot of land became available in Mallorca.

In the Studio with… Roger Herman

There is something delightedly refreshing about Roger Herman’s approach to art; when I ask what it is that links the pieces in his new exhibition From California with Love, he jokingly replies, ‘I made them all. That’s what connects them.’ This light-hearted response, I later find out, stems from Herman’s unconventional journey to his practice.

Tish

A moving documentary about the life and work of photographer Tish Murtha The story of Tish Murtha begins in Elswick, Newcastle, during the Sixties when, as a child, she found a camera among the rubble of a derelict house. From this moment on, the young Geordie was never seen far from a camera.

But, after questioning what connections this simple item could hold, I became aware that I needed to see the bigger picture. So, on 9 October 2018, I bought a bullock.

Street artist Andy Leek on the restorative power of being by water

There is something uniquely powerful in the way that street art can access an audience that conventional art cannot, an audience that might not usually see art. Plastered on walls or painted on buses, you can make your name, image or message see by anyone – even those who don’t want to see it. This is the essential concept to the work of Brixton-based street artist Andy Leek, who writes positive messages on posters and leaves them around the city in the hope that it might make a small difference to someone’s day – even those who didn’t know they needed it.
