The graphic artist and placemaker reveals her plan to move an icon of postwar Californian modernism to north London and fill it with Mexican folk art and Barry White albums … Tech City 2015 My mum is an inspiration! I love her work! She is currently working on a whole series of new pieces to exhibit at the Parallax Art Fair. I hope when I’m her age I’ll have the same enthusiasm and vibrancy she has. Can’t Get Enough
The other day my sisters were looking at a YouTube video of Barry White at the Royal Albert Hall in 1975, and my dad was playing the viola in the orchestra – it was very moving as he’s not with us now. But then it made me think of my time at the Royal College of Art, and how I played this album non-stop for a year. I think my dad had given it to me as he thought Barry was quite good! I’ve looked but I don’t seem to have it any more, so I want to go and buy it again and listen to his amazing voice on vinyl. Candelabra
I love and collect Mexican folk art, and I already have one piece by the artist Israel Soteno, but when I saw this candelabra I was just so excited. Luckily I got my heart’s desire and received this magnificent candelabra as a present this Christmas. Kaufmann House
My ultimate fantasy would be to own the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, designed by architect Richard Neutra in 1946, and then move it next to Hampstead Heath’s boating pond. Then I could live in Hoxton during the week and go to Hampstead at the weekend. Elvis Fan Luke Morgan made a limited edition of these Elvis Fans a while back, but they were all sold at an exhibition. Now, he is just about to do asecond edition and this time I really want to make sure I get one! Read Morag Myerscough’s thoughts on her approach to “playful placemaking” |
