How To Blow Your Christmas Bonus

My work’s been given some really great publicity during 2006, with features in the Design Indaba mag, Jesse and me in House and Leisure, the Plascon colours mag, and some really nice photos in Art SA, but an article in the Financial Mail was so unexpected – it really tickled me!

In the lifestyle section, entitled “How to blow your Christmas bonus”, there’s this article about the growing prevalence of galleries showing and selling decorative and affordable artwork. The writer (Sean O’Toole) used my work (two pics on far right of article) as an example of this trend/phenomenon, describing it as inhabiting “that grey area between design and art”. I’d never put it into words, but that’s just what I thought too!
