In the dressing room of our studio sets of works has been changed for others. Heaps of discarded trials has gathered in the corners, things organised in sections of what-to-keeps, maybes and definitive no-no’s.
The dressing room is an intimate room, where uncertainties and flaws are shared under brightly lit lights. Secrets exchanged and friendships forged. We’re happy to invite you in, to see what took place behind the curtains and what was nearly forgotten on the racks.
