'Makers of Tomorrow' Exhibition

I was commissioned, alongside tutors and students from schools and universities, to demonstrate how artists and designers can gain inspiration from the significant collection of 20th and 21st century design at the Ken Stradling. My ‘Antelope Chair’ screenprint was created in response to Ernest Race’s iconic chair.

" I know people in their fifties who had to move countries for work."
