Reclaim  |  RECLAIM 15 June 17
In this month's Reclaim we're thinking about how creativity in its many forms, whether it be upcycling a sideboard or designing a home, can give us a new perspective or feeling.
In our ‘Styling with Story’ feature we took four fairy tales as inspiration to style salvaged and vintage pieces in unexpected ways, and in so doing unearthed something new and challenging. And in Cornwall’s Siren Cottage designer Jess Clark took a vintage portrait as a starting point, imagining the sitter’s life, character and story to create the property’s interior.
It’s the change in viewpoint that a creative home; an antique piece or old artwork can inspire that’s so interesting, and which can spill over to give us a new way of looking at, or remembering, other things.
We've featured artist Lindsay Madden whose beautifully observed paintings of children on old school ephemera inspire thoughts of childhood and artist Catriona Faulkner who has always collected bits of watch, old bones and broken jewels which she uses to make the most magical pieces.
Finding beauty, shaping a home for memories, allowing ourselves to be creative, all make us feel more peaceful and complete - which is seriously good for everyone.
