Faye Toogood MBE is a British artist and designer working at the boundary between functional object and sculpture. Her practice is rooted in the shapes and materials of the English countryside, from gnarled oak trees to ancient standing stones. It resists categorisation and is driven by contradictions: soft and hard, practical and poetic, handmade and industrial.
“Every project begins with a conversation. Before drawings. Before prototypes. It begins with an interaction between two minds that think alike. I’ve followed Mutina’s work for years. But coming to Modena, meeting Massimo, walking through the city, holding the first pieces in my hands… that was something entirely different.”
