RSVP: An Invitation to the William Morris Gallery

Just the other week I received the loveliest invitation from Selvedge Magazine to attend their launch party for issue 64 at the William Morris Gallery in northeast London.




I adore Morris' prints--even wallpapered a foundational pillar in my office in a Morris-inspired print.




But, alas, I could not jet across the pond, so I'm enjoying the party from afar. Here is a link to possibly the prettiest gallery anywhere, and below are two images from an exhibit there by Yinka Shonibare, who, in this collection, updates photographs of the Morris family in African cotton batik.


Readers may recall his interpretation of famous paintings in similar wax cottons.




























Cheers from here!
