Beautiful to be part of this show alongside some other really great artists. Thank you for inviting me to be part of it!
I’ve just released a dream collaboration with, designing 3 bags as part of #ladydiorart. I began thinking about this project when I’d just had my daughter and was carrying her around everywhere. So I was thinking a lot about all the things we as women carry and hold and care for. And that came out in the words we put on the bags.
Commissioned by Related Argent to wrap around an electricity substation and to stand as a landmark for a new development in in North London, it’s now one of the largest permanent public artworks in the UK!
