Tomorrow morning,
Saturday 14 February, is the start of my exhibition Forest to Furniture: Ideas in the Making at the River Rowing Museum, Henley on Thames.
The exhibition
will run until 7 June and I hope you will be able to visit.
Forest to Furniture: Ideas in the Making examines the
relationship between art, craft, design and the creative process through my
work. Forest to Furniture showcases the development of my furniture
over forty years and my sustainable approach to using timber from local
woodlands and managed forests.
Ideas in the Making demonstrates the creative process. Using locally sourced wood, I display a
series of experiments, exploring the relationship between art, craft and design
to reveal the potential of form and surface.
I will offer “guided
tours “on a regular basis. This month I will be at the museum to give an
introduction and Q&A session on Friday 27th @ 3 pm and Saturday
28th February @ 10.30 am.
There are limited places available for the tours so please advise
me if you are coming, preferably by email furniture@philipkoomen.co.uk.
I will update you with dates for the March guided tours nearer the
time.
If you do visit the museum, I hope you will enjoy the exhibition
(feedback welcome!).
