‘Photographed’ by Deborah Clerkin

“I chose the word ‘Photographed’ as it is one of my greatest passions. As a photographer images are very important to me, capturing moments that become lasting and loved memories. Photography has evolved over the years.

‘Wild’ by Emily Bornoff

Emily Bornoff is an illustrator and surface designer. Born and raised in London, she takes inspiration from all over the world, with a particular love for Scandinavian design. Her father was an antique dealer so growing up with so many beautiful objects and furniture around her has influenced her use of antiques and vintage objects in her work. She has a particular obsession with 1950’s illustrators, textile designers and ceramic artists.

Bornoff also loves drawing animals and nature in her work and is a keen supporter of animal welfare. She screenprints, works in relief, lithography and uses digital print on books as well as textiles and ceramics.
