An exhibition By Sara Thorn
The exhibition Liberty combines aspects of artist ,designer Sara Thorn’s self expression through various media, including watercolours, digital collage prints on cotton and hand embroidery.
Goddesses, tattoos, acrobats and gypsies come together in a opulent collection of exotic and celestial influences.
Jewels, poetry and dreams further inspire and appear as embroidered textile works for the wall , hand embroidered in India by Artisans as limited edition works to bring colour and heart to your spaces.
Sara brings forth symbols and designs from her inner world of imagination, where the mythological, fantastical create artworks which remind us of pure personal expression.
Whimsical watercolours are transformed into lampshades on one off vintage lamp bases. Amongst these will be clear cut, glass bases with illuminating watercolours in yellows, pinks and greens with jewel and paradise garden imagery. A Moroccan brass bejeweled lamp base features a digitally printed water colour with hand painted Berber ladies collaged onto pomegranate silk brocade.
The exhibition Liberty explores the joy of self expression through water colour and demonstrates how these paintings provide inspiration to create embroideries onto textile featuring the same motifs and designs stylized and also extended into decorative, functional objects such as lamps.
Sara designs the interior, soft furnishing brand WorldWeave.
WorldWeave rugs and cushions are available at Husk.
