I went to look around the Royal College of Art's final show this lunchtime, i wish all Friday afternoon's were like this! And there were some amazing things.
The RCA is just next to the Albert Hall, Kensington (easy, pretty, walk from South Ken or High St Kensington to go and see the show) beautiful location, little stroll through the park before end perhaps... This was my afternoon
 |
| 'Lunchtime jog' they were talking work. Team building. Great. I approve of this lunchtime! |
But: these are my favourites from the show:
 |
| Emma Shipley, Textiles student, her final show 2011. It looked incredible, she based the project on nature, evolution and the imperfect 'repeats' (nice play on print design there) and the replications this brings through... genes, the imagery is mainly linear sketches of apes and vines, incredibly intricate, as if documenting every detail, and i HOPE she becomes a wallpaper and textile designer, she is innovative and exciting. |
 |
| Textiles student Lauren Barfoot, basing the print work on Matisse and the Fauvist movement, used brilliant inspiration for her colour palette. |
 |
| Made entirely of ceramic and glass, this scene was endearing, if not slightly sinister or at least children's 'fairytale' like, and we all know how most of those go... But it was enchanting and interesting. The designer Malene Hartmann Rasmussen, calls it 'visual poetry', and i utterly get that from it. |
