Friday 26th October Andy's Palette

Fellow Studio member Andy Macgregor has started to make use of the large canvases that we acquired as surplus props after a set design job..............they are now destined to be shown in our December exhibition but quite frankly I am going to selfishlly sabotage any public red dot sales as I want them for myself...............only joking Andy............but seriously I DO WANT ONE..............

Thursday 25 October Viva Installation

We finally put the finishing touches to our hair installation ...........Mark Bailey created a signature hair bonnet and Nova Dando knitted an intricate hair dress............all tied together by my blue bower birds weaving their nests from the hair..............the idea was based on birds from Papua New Guinea who collect blue things from the jungle floor to attract their mate................you can see our collobaration at Viva Hair Salon, 47 Lexington Street, London W1
