Just a few snaps from Somerset House's latest exhibition Wool House in collaboration with The Campagin for Wool innitiative.

Highlighting the current resurgence in popularity of British wool, this exhibition aimed to further promote the quality, versatility and importance of the material, with artists using it in ways previously considered rather unorthodox.

From Saville Row tailoring to wall installations the show offered a vast amount of inspiration for textures, textiles and beautiful room styling! My favourite interior, The Modern Room, was created by AnneKyyroQuinn. Her clean and colourful furnishings and wall interiors would look great in any contemporary space, showing the revived modernity of the material.

Sadly the exhibition has now finished (13^th-24^th March) but all exhibitor information and details about The Campaign for Wool can be found at http://www.campaignforwool.org/wool-house/contributors/.

I recently visited the annual Kinetica Art Fair at the Ambika P3, NW1 5LS. The futuristic exhibition brought the basement gallery to life with a mass of energy and technology. Many of the pieces emphasised an interactive relationship between object and viewer, encouraging visitors to become part of the art, where others created engrossing visual projections through holograms, strobe lighting and light refraction techniques.

I am currently working on a modern engineering influenced collection, combining hand drawn artworks with industrially based materials, and found a wealth of inspiration at the show, I hope you find it as exciting as I did!
