Lucky to combine a meeting @westdeancollege with a tour of Salvador Dali’s Mae West Lips Sofa, his celebrated Lobster telephone and the dancer Tilly Losch’s ‘wet’ footprints in the carpet. All part of Edward James’ fabulous collection.

Delighted to be joining the Weald and Downland Museum, as their new Director. Preserving its collections of over 50 historic buildings, with traditional crafts and rural life, the team do so much to think about regenerative practice. www.wealddown.co.uk/museum-news/...
