His home and space are both comfortable and creatively alluring. Collectibles line every nook and cranny of his understated yet highly refined styled rooms. As you flip through the pages you notice how old and new merge together creating a pure authentic sense of style. A place of inspiration as spaces inspire.

The photography is absolutely wonderful. Photographer Stafford Cliff captures the true essence of all that is CONRAN.

Conran’s use of natural materials throughout his home, studio and restaurants is naturally pleasing and a green blessing.

His bathrooms are simply stunning. Bedrooms are simply soothing. One gets the sense that by walking into his home, all your troubles would be left at the door.

Found Objects

As mentioned in the last post "Treasure Hunting" is something that is motivated by my desire to go out and find things that I can use when tackling and creating my various artistic endeavours. 

 

For example when I am styling an event, interior, exterior or nondescript space I may have to find something that makes it all work or pulls the look together.

"Found Objects" are usually items I stumble upon 

without intention of finding them. 

They find me!

These Found Objects often find a place in my Art Work, they may star or be a supporting role in Vignettes within a given styling project. Sometimes they form part of a collection.

For both Treasure Hunting and Found Objects I am often interested in the history, the story behind things and how the reclaiming of this item gives it added LIFE. 

 

Reuse ~ Re-purpose ~ re CREATE

Treasure Hunting

Naturally Inquisitive,

I have a burning desire to "search for stuff", "treasure trove", "hunt for things" that, I can re-purpose or reconstruct into something else. 

 

As a green Artist and Stylist my desire to reCREATE by reclaiming and re-purposing is just what I do.

It's a great feeling when you actually make something. 

There are two ways in which I typically DESIGN. 

I call it the chicken or egg syndrome.

 

The Egg ~ I usually start by designing something in my head, I love sketching out the idea, then I material source and then physically work it out, proceeding to see it through to fruition. 

 

The Chicken ~ I usually find something or have something, then the ideas start flowing as to how I can make it different, better, functional or just plain COOL. 

~ reclaim, re-purpose, reCREATE ~

 

I believe that another man's garbage is another man's treasure
