Hello again. While organising my current exhibition, I received a rather exciting email from Vida.com, inviting me to collaborate with them in creating a Collection based around my work. It's been great seeing how my paintings transform the garments, and how the emotion of a work carries through to the new format. It has really changed how I see my paintings, and allows me to open up my work to a larger audience that I may otherwise have missed.
One of the defining characteristics of Vida is how they work ethically with their Makers, giving them the access to education they may otherwise have been without. This empowerment and respect is a far cry from the stories you hear about many other clothing manufacturers who's main concern is low cost labour.
I've already generated a lot of interest, and made some sales, so it's very encouraging. Click the picture above to have a look for yourself, as there's pieces for men and women.
