I'm doing special Valentine's hearts that can be personalised (shh £10 each!) so come and get one for your sweetheart!

Show in Selfridges, Oxford Street - Words Words Words

2012-01-15T08:25:00.000-08:00

Last week I installed about 20 originals/prints of my typewriter art works and jewellery into Selfridges, Oxford Street, London.

The concept store (ground floor far left side entrance of the building if you looking from Oxford Street) plays host to the current pop-up store Words Words Words and my work fits in a treat with that theme, being deconstructed words and all!

Its been featured in Time Out, read the feature here

I was really excited about the chance to have a big wall space to work with, as it was a chance for me to explore communicating my process to the customers without being there, hence an installation featuring one of my favourite 'showpiece' typewriters.

I will be typing out and about for the duration of the show capturing London's Landmarks - details of this will be posted up on here and Facebook /Twitter . The sales team in the concept store will also be notified if I'm somewhere central to be found, so if you're nearby and want to see me working hopefully you can!

I'm also hatching a plan for a live event instore at some point during February.

Hope you can make it down there!
