INSPIRED: Faye Toogood MBE with Alistair O'Neill
Sarabande is thrilled to welcome Faye Toogood MBE.
Tuesday 24th November · 7:30 - 20:45pm GMT.
Faye Toogood MBE is a British artist and designer working at the boundary between functional object and sculpture.
Her practice is rooted in the shapes and materials of the English countryside, from gnarled oak trees to ancient standing stones. It resists categorisation and is driven by contradictions: soft and hard, practical and poetic, handmade and industrial.
Toogood begins with a hands-on process. Humble materials such as cardboard and clay are used to test and rework form, before being scaled up to the point of abstraction. Whether making a chair, a large-scale installation or a piece of public art, the result carries a sense of play and and a directness of touch.
She will be joined in conversation by Alistair O'Neill, Professor of Fashion at Central Saint Martins.
Drinks will kindly be provided by Galipette
