Contemporary Applied Arts , 2 Percy Street, London W1 is celebrating it's 60th birthday with this extravagant exhibition of English eccentricity, the cup of tea. It is a fun exhibition and there were fairy cakes galore on the opening night.
"never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on!" Billy Connolly
was the great quote on the invitation although unless I am mistaken, there was a distinct lack of tea-cosies in the show.
"Mandy Prowse studied painting and printmaking at Maidstone College of Art. She explores natural and human forms and the interconnectedness of all things. Themes in her work relate to birth, mortality and metamorphosis. Her altered books are minimalistic and organic combining a modern aesthetic with an almost Victorian touch. If you told me these books were 100 years old I wouldn’t think twice about it.”
Jason Thompson, The Rag and Bone Bindery
