Artists in hiding! Had a catch up with awesome set designer and conceptual artist @rhea_thierstein this afternoon.
We first met years ago when I worked with @britishvogue before I moved to the USA. We discussed all sorts of art today from immersive performance through to high fashion and the future of authentic design.

Excited to share that 'Spring Awakening (2011)' by Rhea Thierstein will form part of "Vespid". Please come down to the @sevenoakskaleidoscope gallery between the 5th and 29th of August to see it and all the amazing work by the other artists taking part.

See the gallery website for full information about opening hours. Please note we will be closing at noon on the 29th to allow the exhibition to be deinstalled, but there will be an opportunity on the morning of the 29th to meet some of the participating artists and discuss their work.

There will also be a collage workshop for all ages on the 11th August 1330 to 1530.

On the 22nd August at 11am, Louisa Stefani @louisalovesleaves from UCL will be giving a talk about her BSc dissertation entitled "Can You Learn to Love Wasps?". We hope that after seeing Vespid, and listening to Louisa's presentation, you can learn to love these amazing creatures!

Dollies! Girls and gay boys and their dolls. Dolls are one of the many lenses I’ve always understood the fashion industry through. Grown ups who never grew up or grew out of their dolly love.

I found a book called ‘The Mechanical Dolls of Montecarlo’ at a flea market in New York. It took my breath away. I wondered, is there a way of making pictures with living mechanical dolls?

The legendary makeup artist Val Garland often told me about her doll collection and her dolly-loving. So she was the first person I contacted about exploring and achieving the various technical mechanics and broken china doll faces. All the other leads were to be found in the book. The painted heads. The eerie hairlines. They were brilliantly interpreted by my favourite hairdresser and artist Malcolm Edwards.

That one book of toys gave us everything — posing — styling — hair — make up… but there was one other element I wanted to weave in…. The toy shop scenario scene in Bladerunner (1984). Forever a scene I draw on again and again. Here’s what we did:

1. Unpublished, Audrey Marnay as mechanical doll, Glemham Hall, Suffolk, 2011
2. Unpublished polaroids
3. Audrey Marnay as mechanical doll, Fashion: Comme Des Garcons, Glemham Hall, Suffolk, 2011
4. Kirsi Pyrhonen as mechanical pirate doll, Fashion: Gucci, Glemham Hall, Suffolk, 2011

This is a rosehip and borage flower set in jelly, made by art director and set designer Rhea Thierstein for a Tim Walker shoot. 🌹 Thierstein’s design leans toward the romantic and the theatrical, with a childlike, fantastical feel. 🌙
Candied colours and flowers trapped in jelly. Oh Mamma Mia 🤌🏽
