The Corner Shop collection celebrates the everyday objects commonly found in diasporic corner shops and in Brixton Market near my studio: neon price tags, gridded dish cloths, marbled plastic stools and multicoloured bindis. These superficially mundane, mass-produced objects take on a different character when abstracted and re-composed as chromatic patterns on stationery, textiles and objects for the home.

My colour palettes are developed from a library of colour I create specifically for each collection. The colours for my Wrap collection are gathered from the objects in the corner shops, as well as the shops themselves, which often have a riot of juxtaposed surfaces – painted walls, laminated floors, mismatched fixtures and fittings. The application of pattern across textiles and paper products allows for nuanced tonal variation of the same colours.
