A few people commented that my Loopy Vessels and vase covers looked like bags, so I added straps. When I had an accessories label Glovedup Gloves in the 00s, my high fashion crochet featured in Vogue magazine among many others. My recycled plastic bag crocheted tiaras, hand-fans, hats and gloves were worn by debutantes Liz Brewer, top models Natalia Vodianova and the ultimate Vogue Italia fashionista Anna Piaggi (RIP).
Having been a digital evangelist since the 90s, I'm switching to analogue technologies and crochet is one of my favourites. These Loopy Vessel creations represent an artisanal rebellion to algorithmic appropriation and replication. As technology and mass production strips creativity of its soul, craft and context can still hold irreplaceable value in human hands. Hand-made in London by me. Edition of 1. Unique.
