I have, in this current body of work, applied illustrative skills to a series of chairs. The chairs I have used have all been abandoned, found on the street or in skips, discarded because they have become unfashionable, broken or worn. I like the idea of transforming something unloved and worthless into something unique and beautiful.

Matt, Joe and Eve have been photographing jelly babies for nearly a year now. They buy them on Saturday from the Dinkie on North St – the best sweet shop and tobacconist in Bristol – photograph them, and then eat them.

My collection, Sunday Best 2007, is the result of a journey of exploration, learning and discovery. The garments have been designed and made by myself, for the most part over the last five years. The collection displays my interest in corsetry, drapery and experimental cut, onto which I have expressed a desire for beading and embellishment. I like to think the wearer feels a sense of fun and pride when wearing my clothes and corsages too.
