Faye Toogood crashes into Maison & Objet with WOMANIFESTO! A playful and provocative installation that celebrates her studio's restless experimentation and voracious creative appetite.
"This is my womanifesto. Self portrai of the brain as an artist. Squishy. Surreal. Sensual. Sexual. Spontaneous. Turning the studio of my subconcious inside out." - Faye Toogood.
DRAWING
“It's often a means to an end.” – Faye Toogood
The restless energy of an urgent line is captured in WOMANIFESTO!’s Drawing Room. In the Toogood studio drawing is about speed and communication more than a finished work of art. The pulse of a scribble.
SCULPTURE
“I have worked hard to create a vocabulary of shape that is my own.” – Faye Toogood
An monochromatic sculpture room showcases Toogood’s innovations in shape. The dramatic installation features iconic designs from Toogood’s archive remade in all-black materials.
MATERIAL
“If you can make something look good in canvas, it will look good in cashmere.” – Faye Toogood
Materials are the starting point of most Toogood projects. For WOMANIFESTO! Toogood celebrate the studio’s beloved materials library with a series of sculpted heads, new fashion works and curated objects showcasing Faye’s playful love of unexpected and unconventional materials.
LANDSCAPE
“I feel more comfortable outside than in.” – Faye Toogood
The landscape is a constant and enduring influence across Toogood collections and collaborations. Palette. Materials. Shape. A raw beauty. For WOMANIFESTO! Toogood harness this elemental energy in a forest of hand-made, tree-sized cardboard sunflowers.
ENTRANCE
The exhibition is disorganised into four collapsing chapters. DRAWING. MATERIAL. SCULPTURE. LANDSCAPE. These are the bouncy-castle pillars of Faye Toogood’s wobbling, mutable studio
