Sir Paul Smith Commission 2013
Sir Paul Smith has commissioned artist Joy Pitts to make a new work for his collection using a selection of Paul Smith designer labels. The minimal colour palette and repeated text fragments will focus more on textile machine production processes, and less on the use of everyday found objects as seen in earlier works.
