Repost: of this stunning painting by Delaine le Bas assisted by the lovely @rozewaudbyarts Roze on the right is wearing a full outfit made by Pussy Tattie & @pollypresents . Read the full information behind this picture below. X Collaborations with Delaine le Bas 🖌️🎨🎠 @dedelebas - The Unfairground, Glastonbury 2024 An honour and a pleasure to assist, co-create & share both our largest canvas to date with Delaine le Bas. All hand painted using brushes and scenic techniques and both a scissor lift and cherry picker depending on what was available in the field. Delaine is a fountain of magic, of protective spells and embodies living art. Expressing a rich political history, illustrating human psychology, exploring language and challenging narratives about Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities. Many ongoing tales are woven into the visual tapestry of this work. A life’s journey mapped in paint. To see the work of Delaine in person there is an exhibition opening in London this Thursday 3rd September, 6pm @yamamotokeikorochaix - please come along! And alsooo Delaine is now a Turner Prize nominee 2024 with exhibit just installed and ready to be experienced now @tate - not to miss! Many thanks to - @pxssy_tattie & @pollypresents aka @calix_collective for the incredible costume here that turn the wearer into walking art itself! The creators and dressers of all the unfairground performers and beyond. I felt like I had become the wall with this piece 🤡 @the_unfairground @glastofest for giving us the platform to create such large scale outdoor work 🌹 And to the brilliant photographer @_vady_1 for documenting our process and work together 🫶🏻📸 #tatemodern #delainelebas #turnerprize #GRTart #folkart #scenicpainting #glastonbury Reposted from @rozewaudbyarts

Little studio self portrait celebration 😬 don't normally do personal posts but am super excited because I'm moving to London in September to start a masters in Costume at the London College of Fashion. Going to miss my Bristol friends loads and thank you to everyone who has supported me so much over the years 💗 but can't wait to see where this next step takes me ✨

Totally never got round to posting these last summer but this is @lauren4loz and Aisling being the best aisle people at the penny pincher end of days #redrashinn sale. Had the time of my life dressing the @redrashinn for the last 10 years, these costumes were originally created by me and @faysplant a few years ago, but came out of retirement and were updated. Thank you to everyone who has let me give them gaffer tape eyebrows over the years 😬. Lauren is also wearing my favourite hair accessory of all time a crushed plastic bottle. photo is by @moonimmischmedia 💙💗💙💗
