Then back home it was Matthew Darbyshire’s big day, his first big show in England. We were fortunate enough to collaborate with Tramway and thanks to Ellen and Lizzie’s great team work we managed to put together the most amazing exhibition. We started our celebrations of our fifth year and it was a wonderful festive feeling. Artist such as Richard Sides showing in Invites, Toby Ziegler and our advisors James Lingwood and Thomas Dane also managed to be with us.

The show is a big success, a mundane landscape of Mockintosh architecture engulfing a small visual palate of home comforts and British DIY familiarity.
