Window installation for the Selfridges
For the Selfridges window project, ‘Surreal Things: Surrealism and Design’ a portmanteau of surrealism was presented; bringing together elements from across the surrealist oeuvre and a collection of his own studio pieces to create the window; using clock faces, neon lights, mirrored picture-frames and the spineless to create a thought-provoking and humorous experience.
The project included creating a series of surreal items to sell in the store, such as ‘bottled time;’ a clock face mounted on a rod, gazed on by the miniature figurines; open-ended vase; a deconstructed, open-ended vase, with a watertight silicone bung; and ‘a light plunge;’ a humble utilitarian plunger, given a minimal, decorative function, with the addition of a wax candle.
