Geometric # 1

A recent collaboration with stylist Zoë Hancock saw the creation of this futuristic backdrop. What began with a weekend of constructing triangular plastic forms ended in this inspiring result.

The geometric structures create a strong contrast to the free flowing forms of the garments. Teamed with the pastels used in the backdrop, these images show that the futuristic can also be feminine!

Floral Frenzy

‘Floral Frenzy’ is the title I have given to a bespoke backdrop I produced by request of friend and stylist Zoë Hancock. Zoë approached me to help produce a set for a shoot she was working on with photographer Xanthe Hutchinson ‘inspired by Meadham Kirchoff, 90’s grunge and the Spice Girls’.

With a piece of vintage, floral wallpaper (Zoë provided me with) as a starting point, I set to work creating this giant floral decoupage wall piece. This to me screamed 70’s psychedelia, but also encompassed the throw anything together attitude of grunge. Zoë’s clever amalgamation of prints, Temi’s trashy yet colourful hair and make-up and finally models Madeline White and Kaitlin Pilcher all contributed to the success of these images Xanthe captured on the shoot.
