TILLEY DESIGNS

The existence of opposites and their paradoxical nature is my current focus. Physicalized by immersive fantastical patterns. Tactile and intimate relationships between the imagination, body, and object. You’re amused but also confused. Obscure, Ridiculous and Peculiar

This summer will be the first ever Le Festivolt! Its creation and organisation is thanks to @voltairesattic an association of musicians and artists in the Pays de Gex area. Already confirmed for the festival are 14 music acts, 2 live arts, installations, and an artist market. Once again if you would like to participate in creation of this festival we are still accepting volunteers,application and ideas. In particular I will be working with the decor team so send me a message if that's something your interested in being apart of. Preparations have already commenced! https://www.facebook.com/lefestivolt/ http://www.voltairesattic.com/ #creativeassociation #voltairesattic #firstfestival #summerfestival #freefestivals #creativeopportunity #summer2018 #festivalbuilding #festivaldecor (at Ferney-Voltaire)

I've been rummaging through photos of the work I've done in the past year and a half since graduating to update my website. Makes me really happy to see the work Jess and I did at @lostvillagefestival with @cloudninedecor 🔨✂️🖌!! Making stages and entrances look old, worn out and rusty. Using paint to create various textures and illusions. • • • #lostvillagefestival #cloudninedecor #setpainting #festivaldecor #texture #paintonmetal #painting #stagepainting (at Lost Village Festival)
