Humour and Story
My collection should be called ‘I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to look at all the work because there’s so many talented people at the RCA and I’ve done you a horrible injustice by being forced to choose’. I selected pieces because I liked them – it was that simple. Besides the beautiful craft, colors, shapes and ideas, if there was a theme, maybe it’s the humour and storytelling I become intrigued by. It’s all so inspiring!
