Jenny Ford
Inspired by Medieval and Elizabethan costume, her mysterious sculptures are constructed in silk velvet, hand-dyed from a rich colour palette, silk dupion and other sumptuous fabrics. They are made to be discovered – inside, round a corner, emerging from a secluded alcove; or outside, slinking through a tree; each installation calling for quiet contemplation.
