I know artists get really annoyed whenever asked to create a work that matches your sofa (or other decor). This series of mixed media shows how I break those rules, as an artist, to create a secondary art work that extends the art using more modern contexts for art and bringing in the contemporary artistry of interiors styling, retail display (merchandising) and product photographic composition while using traditional colour conventions. Through this process, the shelves supporting the art become works of art as does the photography too.
