SHOW OF THE WEEK part 2

colourways
The ladies of HML tire of all the chic muted palettes around. Sometimes we just want to go technicolour. We are intrigued by these wooden assemblages (above) by James Rogers now on show at Christine Abrahams gallery.
They reminded us of one of our all time favorite things - the embroidered artworks of Takashi Iwasaki.
Sometimes you see someones work and you just push yourself away from the desk and say 'well that's it I'm done'. The work is so joyful, so well crafted and so seductive we can't get enough.
Next trip to the land of the rising sun Beck is in charge of procuring an orginal for the staff room wall.

OMG, how did I not know about this?

I know it's just amazing - although I dont know whether to put away the embroidery tools forever in the face of such genius or to just try harder and do more!
