Artist Statement: I interior designed this taxi for my degree show at St Martins, It is something I've wanted to do since I first came to London about 14 years ago. I think the inside space of a taxi felt so much like a sitting room I wanted to decorate. In the end I chose this woodland theme. But I just Interior decorated, I wanted to leave the out side the same, so it is a surprise when you step in and hopefully it transports you into a completely unexpected environment. All the fabric except the astro turf floor has been digitally printed on to furnishing fabric, I then screen printed flowers, frogs, butterfly¹s, etc, then I put wadding behind the fabric and sowed into it. Final I took it to an Upholstery factory in wales were I learnt to Upholster and Bob's your Uncle, country side in a London Cab.
