I was in Birmingham today invited by Capsule to give a talk to the great Birmingham 2022 team who are putting together the publication for the Discovery Season which is launching the New Birmingham Library.
Then we went down on site to see how the Pavilion is progressing, Danny & Andy and their team are doing a beautiful job it is looking just like the sketches. Can’t wait till next week when we start adding more layers.
Jenny Theolin invited me to speak at the ‘Creative Startups’ evening at Glug which took place this Thursday at Cargo, Shorditch. I was a little apprehensive as my studio has been going for 20 years this year and I may not be want people wanted to listen to. But Jenny and Nick Clements convinced me and so I prepared a talk that I hoped was relevant and took the audience through a 20+journey in 30mins. A great turn-out and the evening was full of speakers with lots of useful information so I hope mine added to it. I had a chat with some great designers at the end of the evening. I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and I have had a really positive response to my talk. So thank you Glug for including me.
We have been back now a couple of weeks but working very hard to get a few projects. One of them is the world map installation. I think I underestimated the complexity but it is always worth it in the end!
This is the space our group has been given to create a place for all the students to use and belong in.
Below our brief to our group.
Team Thursday’s group painted/applied/layered all the artists names on this hoarding. We are pleased to see they went so big for ours.
We have a great group and we had a really productive first day. Looking forward to what happens today.

We went back to Nick Metropolis to buy our group a present to start our series of workshops. We decided ‘FUN’ was good but then we had to find the letters and will the fonts work together? a minefield, but we got there in the end and we could afford them, So smiles all round.
I love this greenhouse at the Adamson House.
I love the Adamson House in Malibu, the building is just covered in amazing Malibu tiles. But whenever we visit we always get there on a day when the house is closed so have only been able to go round the outside. Better luck next time.
Lizzie and Kathryn are hard at work undercoating with a fire retardant paint the blocks for the map. Looks like they are well underway, especially when the weather is so nice outside.
Nick Metropolis’s Place — we’ll be back…..
We were driving along and on the corner of 1st & La Brea was this amazing place, so exciting! We went in and we met THE KING OF COLLECTABLE FURNITURE (as written on his business card), NICK METROPOLIS, he gave us a great welcome and we LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE (also written on his business card) this place. We will be back…. LOVE IS ALL THERE IS (also written on his business card), but also VERY TRUE
Last night in our absence The Movement Cafe won the Hospitality & Workplace Interiors category of the Design Week Awards. We feel very proud, there was a strong shortlist.
Lena Corner asked me what prominent woman I think should be represented on the back of the £5 note and to design the note for her article. My choice was Bridget Riley (1931 — present): “Riley is a greater influence on contemporary art than we give her credit for. She has that quiet, unegotistical Britishness about her. Her work has stood the test of time and been relevant to many generations. I’ve always loved her work – the geometry, the colours, the abstractness. I never get bored of looking at it; it always makes me feel optimistic. The art world is now so much more celebrity-led than it used to be, it’s refreshing to see a woman who is judged almost entirely on her work.” But I should have also mentioned in 1968 Riley, with Peter Sedgley and the journalist Peter Townsend, created the artists’ organization SPACE (Space Provision Artistic Cultural and Educational), with the goal of providing artists large and affordable studio space.
In 2014, Morag will do a talk as part of the Talking Interiors public lecture programme.
