A Tapestry of Dalston
Being a bit of an old skool raver in my youth I do go a little weak at the knees at a bit of UV!
Realms of Glam by Audrey Roger
New Weaving Plus Divine Shanghai by Colin Henderson
Dalstanimals by Jake Blanchard
Jazzy Animals by Marcus Oakley
Bringing together a cross-section of handpicked, Dalston-based creatives, we briefed each to conceive & produce a pattern-based piece, taking inspiration from the many historical & cultural influences that the area encompasses.
The artists were asked to consider the patterns & textures that surround them daily ‘from the mundane to the magnificent’& use them to develop original one-off works.
Displayed together these pieces represent a tapestry of the area – from day into night – by its resident creatives.
“Our aim with A TAPESTRY OF DALSTON is to showcase, through the medium of pattern, the creative talent that abounds in Hackney, giving those individuals the cultural melting pot of their home neighbourhood as inspiration. As with all our work at Patternity, we encourage people to seek out, appreciate & enjoy pattern everywhere – then use this to bring about something original & exciting” Anna Murray // Patternity
ULTRA VIOLET
The basement & street level lighting up & down the Kingsland Road was also a significant source of inspiration for the lighting of the exhibition for the private view. From dawn to dusk, the illumination & pattern of activity changes by the hour, as with the gallery. Seasonal variations play their part: sunshine or cloud gives way to UV lighting as the day fades.
Each work is set in its own time-frame. The pieces produced take on a new presence under the lighting so synonymous with the area. The end result; a tapestry of pattern & light, inspired by Dalson & created by those who live their lives there.

Antony Gormley @ White Cube
To be be brutally honest I've never been much of an Antony Gormley fan but I was absolutely blown away by his glow in the dark sculpture - Breathing Room III, which was recently exhibited at the White Cube. It was exciting to be able to interact with the sculpture and having to maneuver in the dark really heightened my senses and bring awareness of my own personal existence. In addition to this, for me it was a little reminiscent of the cult eighties film Tron.

Seeper PufferSphere @ Tent Digital
I came across Seeper at Tent Digital. London Design Festival. They were exhibiting the PufferSphere, which appeared to be a much bigger and far more sophisticated version of the 80's plasma ball. A large scale multi touch, multi user system on a spherical display... absolutely amazing!
CUSTHOM @ London Design Festival
CUSTHOM's pop up shop really caught my eye when wandering around East London for the London Design Festival. I love this keyboard wallpaper and their Thermocromatic wallpaper.
