Skin and Bones

Saturday 9 August 2008



I just went to the Skin and Bones exhibition, which sets out to show the parallel practices in fashion and architecture. I wasn't always one hundred per cent convinced of the connection, but there were some amazing pieces in there including this Alexander McQueen dress above. I loved it so much it inspired me to paint this little abstract pattern piece below.


Following my interest in patchwork, there were also photos of the Santa Caterina Market Barcelona which is covered with a patchwork ceramic tile roof.

The exhibition is only on until tomorrow at the Embankment Galleries, Somerset House so hurry now if you want to see it. See www.somersethouse.org.uk
