BOUDICCA ANIMATE EDITIONS
Boudicca / Graham Dolphin Collaboration
Castle Editions have recently launched the Animate Editions by Graham Dolphin. The editions are based on the work of fashion house BOUDICCA and their Animate AW:05 collection.
Editions 1-5 are all available for purchase on the Castle Editions website. www.castle-editions.com
The editions can also be ordered by telephone: 01228 516410.
The BOUDICCA Animate Editions are the product of a unique collaboration between the artist Graham Dolphin and the luxury avant-garde fashion house.
The Editions explore the aesthetics of the BOUDICCA Autumn/Winter collection, Animate. Working closely with the design duo Zowie Broach and Brian Kirkby, Dolphin's trademark line drawings reveal aspects of the complex dynamic executed by BOUDICCA.
Dolphin uses the medium of etching to create a series of fine graphic impressions. Edition 1 brings together every item from the collection and re-configures the garments into an intensely layered composition. Edition 2 takes one item from the collection, The Pleated Shoulder Jacket '(Vent Jacket)', and gathers then explodes all the different fabrications that have gone into the garment, creating a deeply transformative representation.
The series includes two Editions of the etchings with additional artwork by BOUDICCA, and a sound art Edition re-working every piece of music that went into the New York show launching the collection.
