For Chinese New Year, which in 2024 celebrates the Year of the Dragon, we are delighted to feature work by Jacob Chan and Anthony Wong.
“During my time creating my work, the dragon has become a huge part of my practice. Sculpting this mythical creature feels like it has become second nature to me but each time I get the same joy and excitement upon completion. Each dragon I sculpt always develops its own personality and its own individual movement, the possibilites in which you can place, move and bend one into its final position are limitless and I think that this is what keeps me making more.” – Jacob Chan
“The extremely potent yet mythical character of the Chinese Dragon this year in 2024 allows the opportunity for clarity of vision; it allows transformation through heart health both physically and emotionally.
The collection In the Window is the keenest distilling of the dragon symbol, showing a tenacity and strength of line and movement, with a sprinkling of gold.” – Anthony Wong
Makers featured in January have included Rosina Beech, Neil Bottle, Jane Crisp, Nawal Gebreel, Elin Isaksson, Kate Jones, Reiko Kaneko, Selwyn House & Miranda Sharpe.
