WWF commissioned a collection of works from leading artists, designers and architects for Pandamonium in Hyde Park. The pieces were intended to inspire awareness of WWF’s breadth of work.
Curated by Artwise, each artist contributed a piece of wearable sculpture or performance. The Pandamonium collection included fashion, textile, interaction, millinery and music. The works were auctioned during an open air catwalk show to raise funds and highlight the work of the WWF.

I really like Susie MacMurray’s work- her installations are invasive in such an interesting way, and her wearable works are inspiring to me. I’ve been interested in fashion design for years, so wearable art and designs are right up my alley.
I’ve been collecting acrylic paint peels for a year and a half now, so I have a bunch of circles of dried acrylic paint sitting in my desk at home. I’ve been brainstorming some ways that I could use them for an art piece, and suddenly I thought- what if I made a coat with them? MacMurray’s work has inspired me to explore that idea further and possibly use it as a project for this class, or maybe next year’s.
