Summary

The artist sees Attachment as a ‘studio experiment’ to be displayed on a mantle- piece. Little has always been interested in the relationship between art and fashion, as a student he used his sister’s copy of Elle magazine as a source of reference. “I remember starting to think about the relationship between design and fine art when I noticed a Kenneth Noland had identical colours to my mother’s curtains. So it’s okay that a sculpture has the stripes of a Christian Lacroix top and leggings. I remember the buzz of using twenty colours copied from a girl’s jumper by Paul Smith.”

Glossary

  • Design

    The arrangement of elements or details in an artefact or a work of art.

  • Sculpture

    A three-dimensional work of art. Such works may be carved, modelled, constructed, or cast. Sculptures can also be described as assemblage, in the round, relief, and made in a huge variety of media. Contemporary practice also includes live elements, as in Gilbert & George 'Living Sculpture' as well as broadcast work, radio or sound sculpture.
