Spent the afternoon being overwhelmed by color & beauty at Christopher Farr here in Los Angeles, on La Cienega Blvd. Ptolemy Mann, an artist based in London gave an inspired talk about her work, from weaving, installations, new fabrics and architectural commissions. I was particularly obsessed with this digitally printed fabric Christopher Farr is releasing. To say it is psychedelic and charged with energy is an understatement. To say it is refined and elegant, well, that's pretty much accurate!


I left thinking today about Anni Albers, Anne Truitt, Bauhaus textiles, The Light Movement of California, Donald Judd, and looking for colored buildings as I drove down Santa Monica Blvd toward Rachel Harrison's new show at Regen Projects. Melted statues with photographs!

Christopher Farr has been at the spearhead of contemporary rug design for over twenty years. Together with his business partner Matthew Bourne, they were the catalyst that revolutionised contemporary rug design.

Starting with a small shop in a leafy area of north London, a stone's throw from Primrose Hill, this one time painter, trained at the Slade School, wrought a vision that combined the art of the times with a different form.
