Melbourne & Jean Paul Gaultier

December 5, 2014 By Lindy Leave a Comment

Recently, I was in Melbourne for a short break to catch up with family and the timing couldn’t have been better. The Jean Paul Gaultier Exhibition was on at the National Gallery of Victoria, the only place in the Asia/Pacific region to be showcasing this wonderful exhibition.

Jean Paul Gaultier is a name synonymous with edgy and intricate fashions. Gaultier is known for blurring the lines of gender and turning the world of French fashion on its head.  He has earn’t himself the title of ‘L’enfant terrible’ in the process.

Designing

October 21, 2014 By Lindy Leave a Comment

People often ask how I design a piece. Every creative person has a different approach to designing. For me, if it is an exhibition piece, the germination of an idea will just come, then the design starts building. It’s not often that I sit down with my sketchbook and just sketch an idea. Quite often for a special one off piece, it is a word that will start the designing process.
The other side to my designing is for customers, and that is when you have to think on your feet and come up with colours and a design right on the spot. You don’t have the luxury of tossing around ideas for days on end. [Read more…] about Designing

One thing I noticed on my recent trip to Sydney, especially in the city centre, was how many of the small boutique style shops and galleries had closed. There is a sameness in  a lot of big centres now with malls and franchises taking so much business away from the small shop owner, that it is a struggle to keep your door open. The whole advent of online shopping has also made it so much harder for these small boutique shops to remain viable unless selling online. [Read more…] about Demise Of The Little Shop

Mr Finch ~ “Textile artist who lives in a fairytale world”

July 24, 2014 By Lindy Leave a Comment

Finch-and-large-moth-clear-skin-764x1024Fairytale foxes, sleeping hares, flitting moths and other forest dwellers…welcome to the world of Mr Finch.

I absolutely love this gentleman’s work and he is one of my favourite textile artists. He uses mainly recycled materials, a threadbare wedding dress, velvet curtains from an old hotel, vintage embroidered linens to create his highly detailed pieces.

In his words,  “A story sewn in, woven in.” [Read more…] about Mr Finch ~ “Textile artist who lives in a fairytale world”
