Paper Dolls has been nominated for Best British Book for British Book Awards ‘co-published with @sylpheditions and @concentric_editions. The visual illustrated book has a unique place under contemporary art with rich layers of abstract patterns and colours. Paper Dolls brings together artworks on vintage sewing patterns, figurative self-portraits, there is a consistency of different cultures from the Mexican exotica that is fundamental to self-fashioning of #FridaKhalo, to some other mysteries of far east embodied in lavish decoration of Japanese geisha. The book its self is very precious to observe as I have drawn elegant tradition of masquerade and cross-dressing to weave a narrative about prints. This is a book with a real difference crafted to perfection with tactile touches and subtle embellishments, which capture the nature of this gifted artist.

Today I’d love to talk about Forbidden Gardens - a set of 12 collages I made in 2017, now placed in a private collection in Moscow, Russia. The work explores opulence and invites the viewer to enter this enticing garden at their own judgement. Gold Victorian doilies and black bookmakers cloth is used to create this work.

I’m so very excited that this work The Maze Of Time is now placed in a private collection in London. The work is made on an intricate web of a German #sewingpattern from the early 1900s. The work references the philosophy of community and the interlinked web that we exist in. The colours are borrowed from Moro’s palette. #worksonpaper

Le Pop - Noir et Jaune

Featured in my show - La Boîte à Merveilles, @railings_gallery_london are a group of works in which I set an intense ‘pop’ of colour against black textures referencing significant couture creations designed by Saint Laurent during his numerous stays in Marrakech.
These works reference Saint Laurent’s famous declaration that “Marrakech taught me colour.
Before Marrakech everything was black.

The other exciting news to share - @kingsofchelsea Roberto Cavali Interiors invited me to create a site specific installation to celebrate LONDON Fashion Week and to go alongside my solo show. I made 12 collages titled Dancing Blocks inspired by the modernists who were looking at the mathematical system of dance choreography linking them to the system of cutting clothes.
