Villa Nova Patchwork Stone
The Still Life collection captures the beauty of everyday objects with a sharpened appreciation of the home, this philosophy is centred around a need for the home to bring joy, contentment and clarity of thought.
There is a simplicity and an unassuming honesty to the collection that is deeply satisfying. Still Life is influenced by objects and foliage found in a kitchen garden recreated as painterly forms and sketches. A flowing line drawing of a looping tabletop scene sits with a print of a humble potting shed nestled between rows of vegetables rendered in energetic brush strokes. These expressive designs are balanced by an entwining wisteria and a trailing leaf design. The organic natural feel of the collection is enhanced further by a soft colour washed print with an intriguing feathery fringe and a rustic style print inspired by a simple study of hand stitching.
Expressive, sweeping water colour brush strokes capture blocks of overlapping shapes that are boldly placed and over painted to create a large patchwork pattern. The fluidity and depth of the original artwork is translated perfectly on to a simple linen cotton.
