Recently I have been commissioned by The Shed restaurant in Falmouth. The interior of the restaurant is designed in a rustic style, with bare brick walls and low lighting. The brief was basic: to produce 2 stylish, bold and retro feeling pieces in my pop art collage style to be hung in deep white frames. I chose the 2 house cocktails as subject matter, appropriating their names (Roxanne and Elvis Las Vegas) and searched through my archives of magazines and other media images ranging from the 1930s to present day. Roxanne evoked ideas of femininity, sexuality and elegance so I chose lips encircled by butterflies (also an homage to Hirst), whilst Elvis was even simpler. As the eponymous cocktails are red and blue, the color schemes for the work was evident. To obtain a sense of depth to the pieces, I have placed the collage materials on foam pads mounted on perspex panels, which will be inserted as a foreground to a screen-printed background of coloured dots (again, Hirst inspired). For this I will be collaborating with printmaker Amy Jefferies.
