new prints

i am excited to see the fourth plinth installation by artist yinka shonibare especially as i have good friends who have worked on it! The ship was constructed at mdm props ltd where they make various work for artists and museums. the african print sails which adorn the ship were printed in brixton at the london printworks trust where i use the same studio. shonibare is known for using african print textiles in his work, often juxtaposed with references to western art history and european literature.

ascher

as i have been busy production printing for a/w 2010 i wanted to post some great pictures i found of screen printing at the ascher studio london during the 1940's. ascher textiles was founded by zika and linda ascher in london after they left prague in 1939. ascher are most well known for their artist commissioned silk scarf designs from the likes of matisse and henry moore and their floral designes used by doir and schiaparelli.
