THE IDEA
ART THAT MOVES WITH YOU
A place can become part of your identity: the neighbourhood you call home, somewhere connected to an important memory, or a venue where you found your community.
I transform those connections into original wearable artworks. Maps, routes and recognisable structures are adapted around the shape of your chosen item, creating something personal rather than simply decorative.
The result is an artwork made to be worn, lived with and taken into new places.
See how RECOGNITION transforms meaningful locations into personalised map artwork.
CUSTOM PAINTED TRAINERS
Existing trainers transformed through colour, geometry and details connected to your chosen place.
CLOTHING AND WAISTCOATS
Jackets, waistcoats and other suitable garments can become the structure for a completely original composition.
OTHER ACCESSORIES
Suitable bags, leather accessories, handkerchiefs, and other wearable items can also be considered individually.
PERSONALISED TO YOU
WHAT COULD YOUR ARTWORK HOLD?
-
Your home, hometown or neighbourhood
-
A favourite city or memorable journey
-
Where you met someone or celebrated an important moment
-
A music venue, cultural place or community space
-
A map connected to your identity or personal history
-
Colours that feel like you or complement the way you dress
The place does not need to be famous. It only needs to matter to you.
YOUR HOME
The place you return to, shaped by the streets and details that make it yours.
WEDDINGS AND GIFTS
A meaningful venue transformed into personal artwork for a wedding, anniversary or gift.
A PLACE IN YOUR STORY
A favourite pub, childhood home, holiday or any location tied to a memory.
HOW IT WORKS
FROM YOUR PLACE TO WEARABLE ART
1. SHARE YOUR IDEA
Tell me about the place, memory or visual direction you would like the artwork to hold.
2. CHOOSE YOUR ITEM
Send photographs of the trainers, clothing or accessory you would like transformed.
3. DEVELOP THE DESIGN
I create one or more directions shaped around your story, preferred colours and the construction of the item.
4. CREATE THE ARTWORK
Once agreed, the design is painted by hand to create a unique wearable piece.
Before work begins, I will assess photographs of the item to confirm that its material, condition and construction are suitable for painting.
