Illy
Illy commissioned students at the LCC to produce work for their publication, Illywords, celebrating 75 years of Illy coffee. My work was chosen to feature in their magazine. We were asked to explore the theme of innovage, a word coined to merge Illy’s aims of innovation and vintage.
Innovation and Vintage; the old and new, or rear view mirror as it is referred to by Marshall McLuhen. Innovation for me cannot be without the past, as it has to be growing from history. Innovation is a balance of creativity and destruction, destroying the parts that do not work to create the balanced solution. This piece represents all of this, balance, growth and destruction. Why the triangle? The triangle is a solid base on which to grow.
