uoldbag!When materials do not lend themselves to society's contemporary plans, Lisa Tilley appropriates and refurbishes them, developing new products which are fashionable and retro in appearance yet compliant with the demands of modern day living. The ethos is 'vintage' and reused: old magazines, illustrations, vintage suitcases, bags and reclaimed materials are utilised into 'new' products. Some include imagery that has been painstakingly cut out and applied using the art of decoupage, others hand embroidery that has been carefully sewn over beautiful and delicate crochet patterned paper. "The products are multi-functional: some regard them as decorative art, others as fashion or interior accessories. I regard them as functional art." |
