BESPOKE FACE CORSETS & NECK BRACES
Due to popular demand, Paddy is making available for the first time his unique Silk Face Corset and Neck Brace garments. Paddy was originally commissioned by London's Victoria & Albert Museum to produce a series of facial garments in response to themes and issues relating to cosmetic surgery raised at the Museum's event 'Short Cuts to Beauty'. Each Face Corset is made specifically to fit the commissioners face and combines 'facial body play' with beautifully crafted workmanship. Each commission will be produced over a number of weeks via a postal fitting correspondence. For further details, click on the Face Corset listing.

PRINTED TEXTILE WALL HANGINGS
Paddy's large scale textile wall hangings were originally commissioned by and exhibited at Sydney's Macquarie University Gallery for their exhibition 'Somatechnics'. Each wall hanging depicts a photographic detail of the temporary marks made on the head of the wearer of one of Paddy's Face Corsets. Over 2 meters in length, these wall hangings look great on a feature wall or as a space-filler on a narrow wall. Click on the Wall Hanging listing for further details.

WALLETS
Each wallet is personally hand-made by Paddy and combines hard wearing functional simplicity with unusual eye-catching imagery and are a great gift idea, particularly for 'difficult to buy for men'. Wallets feature bold designs illustrating imagery derived from atomic civil defense and public information films, experimental aircraft of the 1940s/70s along with a few out of series designs. All wallets are made in a Limited Edition production run of 30 per design.
