DAY 77, AN EXPLORATION OF THE HAZE AND TIMELESSNESS OF LOCKDOWN WITH DESIGNS FROM VeniceW.

INGREDIENTS FOR DAY 77:

Two Azealia banks albums

Ten face Masks

Two cans of ready made Gin & Tonic from Tesco express

Three pizzas

A spliff (or three)

Four metres of blue satin

Twenty four rolls of toilet roll

Twelve packets of hair

One manwig

A dining chair from a neighbour’s garden

Mum’s therapy chair

A cup of tears

The carpet from a messy boy’s room

And why do it anyway?

For Sam – because hair and fashion chose Sam, by force.

For Daniella, to create with others, concepts out of nothing

For Fiona – to find control, to line things up, create clean images, and get personal

For VeniceW, tissue clothes made for the city that sneezes a lot

For me, a way out of the world as we know it, to show how we feel it, how we see it, or how we’d like to feel and see it.
