A paper dress I created a few years ago specially for English Vogue has gone off on its own little adventure around the world as part of a touring exhibition 'Paper Runway'. At the moment it is staying with some new friends it's made at Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, 4848 Main Street, Houston, Texas !!! Big thanks to Suzanne Sippel for sending us the photos !

After a papercut is completed we color it by spraypainting it. The huge papercut we did at Somerset House's 'Pick me Up' exhibition was too big to spray indoors so we took it out into the yard, good from the point of dispersing the paint fumes but not so good when sudden gusts of wind appear threatening to blow this extremely delicate artwork halfway down the street !

Over the last year and a half I have been working on the pictures to go with a new Carol Ann Duffy childrens story called 'The Gift', it really is the most beautiful and moving tale. Eventually it is all finally coming together and begining to look like a book - these things seem to take forever - and will be coming out in September.
Exciting !
