Faye Toogood

I first encountered Faye Toogood’s work at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2017 at a show called Design Currents. I’d never heard of her at the time, but her work stuck out to me and I found myself moving back and forth around the room to look at objects again. Years later, Toogood’s work and vision has continued to grow and gain more exposure. I enjoyed watching this interview that she did with NGV Melbourne. I think she makes interesting points about finding informed and original design solutions in a way that is free from the rigorous reverence for modernist design and open to a broader range of influences, processes, and juxtapositions. This is worth watching.
