AN INTRIGUING INSIGHT INTO THE WORKINGS OF MECHANISMS, EVERYDAY SCIENCE AND THE INTERACTION AND PLAY BETWEEN MACHINE AND SPECTATOR.
“…Tom can solve most mechanical problems and realise them against all odds…all sorts of contraptions like a page-turning device that is activated by the waste burning candle, and lots of old leather suitcases stuffed with intricate devices that would make Heath Robinson proud.”

Minnie Weisz has commissioned a decorative window installation by Phillippa Johnson. Phillipa is a surface designer with a background in Textile Design.
Windows and Whitewash - a drawing technique used to wipe away a whitewashed window surface to reveal a lace-like pattern to conceal or reveal and peer through, casting shadows on the surrounding surfaces.
Philippa Johnson trained in Textile Design and graduated from Chelsea School of Art in 2004. She has since concentrated on texture rather than textile, working in a variety of media as a surface artist, designer and illustrator, and stylist for sets and photography.
