80’s nostalgia

2015

80’s nostalgia is a contemporary take on the imagery I was exposed to as a child growing up in the late 80s & 90s.

I grew up around industrial parks dotted with bright corrugated steel cladded buildings. Colourful framed structures around glass panels, boasting bold and contrasting primary colours, a trend that dominated the 80s business parks and industrial estates.

Many of these buildings still remain today.

I had this vision of a 1980s trendy apartment in the middle of Manhattan, typical of the apartments you see in films of the same era. Interiors embellished with pieces of Ettore Sottsass Memphis post modern.

Currently at the conceptual stage; experimenting and visualising through small scale models using insulated wire.
