The Holiday

2024

With working in the holiday industry for 7 years in one of the most popular coastal dreams in the country, I couldn’t help but draw inspiration from the short getaways located by dreamy waters, room service in hotel rooms and the escapists that occupy them.

This ongoing body of work celebrates the indulgences and little joys of being away. I was inspired by the phrase “desserts first”, to stop following the rational rules of the mind, just cut the cake and take the first slice. Following my intuition, i wanted to create pieces that could whisk you away as a lady of leisure with bright blooms in your room upon arrival; the pudding trolley rolling up to your door with creamy delsigts; fresh summer fruits with Mojito’s in the cabana, refreshing sea swims in the the cornishsummr tidal pools.  

Inspired by the brave wild swimmers of west coasts and the pleasure of leisure This mini series celebrates our relationship with the ocean. Inspired by escapism, I wanted to explore the jewelled greens and blues of the Atlantic which has been a back drop to my life growing up in Cornwall. The series showcases swimmers playfully wading in dreamy waters on balmy days with a simple mission to allow you to envisage your self doing the same.
