I was kindly invited by the good folks at KK Outlet to take part in their latest group show Object Abuse.
KK Outlet challenged a group of leading artists, designers and stylists to take an everyday object, remould, rebuild and repurpose it to create an entirely new item using as little additional materials as possible.

Inspired by Chinese beckoning cats, traditionally placed in doorways to welcome and bring luck, I used my own cultural background to design a moving talisman. Thanks to my Greek mother, there were always evil eyes around the house when I was growing up, and so I have made-over a metronome, transforming it into a kitsch evil eye amulet. Placed anywhere in the home, it promises to ward off evil spirits and negative vibes.
The full collection of transformed works will be on show at KK Outlet throughout September (Opening tonight) as part of London Design Festival and the ICON Design Guide. Each item will be for sale during the show with all proceeds being donated to the St Monica’s of Hackney Primary School Art Department. Full list of contributors.
