Pip Culbert





I'm a huge fan of artist Pip Culbert's work. Basically anything that involves clothing, textiles or fabric moves me in the heart and I am instantly drawn in. I discovered this English-born artist at Gitte Weise Gallery when it was in Sydney (it's now in Berlin - see also my Maria Kontis post), and I bought one of her pockets... She cuts away all the interior fabric of clothing, tents, bags, flags etc, to reveal the structure in the seams. I look forward to her show at the end of the year here in Berlin, so Gitte tells me!
