BACK & FORTH by JESS WARBY 6 - 17 AUG / PV 6 AUG 6-9PM

BACK & FORTH is an exhibition of new work by Jess Warby
featuring Illustrated, embroidered patches / larger scale wall pieces
 customised backpacks & other amazing stuff!
 
We asked Jess to tell us a bit about her work & inspiration for BACK & FORTH...

"For the past year I have been building a small patch empire. 

I love how accessible and unexclusive patches can be. 
Patches allow people to display them however they see fit, whether it be sewn 
onto a favourite coat or used as a piece of art, framed and hung on a wall. 

Patches have always communicated messages clearly and successfully. 

 Whether it be a uniform that needs clarifying with a FBI logo, or on the sleeve of a fishing fanatic who wants you to know their favourite vacation spot. 

This 'does what it says on the tin' aesthetic lends itself perfectly to my bold

 and often literal way of working. 

Whilst putting together Back and Forth I explored the contrast between 

vintage aesthetics, modern technologies, cultures, 

brands and attitudes towards gender, 

presenting them in a low fi and light hearted way (of course.)"

oooo xxxxx TRIBUTE TO BROWSER 2000 - 2015 xxxxxx ooooo

RIP BROWSER aka EYEBROWS

 Our fabulous Lik + Neon store cat Browser sadly passed away on 15 July,
 just 1 week after her Mother, Makita.

Makita & her daughter Browser were really close. You may have seen the two
 of them snuggled up together in their counter-top bed last winter?

 Browser suddenly developed a life threatening liver condition
and after an incredible effort by the amazing nurses at
Beaumont Sainsbury Animal Hospital to help her recover, she just couldn't get better.

  All who met her were mesemerised by those magical jade green eyes...
 & she has probably been one of the most photographed store cats in Brick Lane!

Browser & Makita take a well deserved break ( all day)

RIP Makita & Browser

 The most amazing & personable shop cats of all time.
