Rose Collection

Faye Toogood

Working with Noritake feels like such a natural progression for me. Viewing their extensive archive, I was fascinated to discover some of the more avant-garde and organic pieces, particularly from the 1930s. I’m excited to continue the rich legacy of this cultural exchange with Noritake.

Inside the Toogood studio is a never-ending, always-changing dance between the force of nature and spirit of human creation. Inspiration from, and interpretation of the landscape are a line joining the dots between each idiosyncratic and boundary-challenging Toogood project. “ROSE” is Faye Toogood’s tribute to her kitchen garden.

“The relationship I have grown with my garden is deeply personal… bordering on the spiritual. I take great comfort in the cycles of sprouting, budding, flowering, ripening, waning … and then rebirth. In the South Downs of England I tend heritage flowers alongside a recipe-book of ingredients for the table. For ROSE I wanted to give an impression of how the garden feels… makes me feel. Especially in the barefoot, solitary moments of sunrise.” – Faye Toogood

Drawn from memory and feeling, ROSE is a riot of pink and green – the palette of an English garden at sunrise. Faye Toogood chose to curate noble forms from Noritake’s archivesto use as a substrate for her spontaneous and emotive mark-making. The result is an unexpected dialogue between Nagoya and the South Downs of England, Notitake’sgenerations of artisans and Toogood’s crash cymbal of the right here right now present moment.

Rose features seventeen unique pieces hand-painted during Toogood’s residency in Japan (signed and packaged in hand-painted boxes) and a limited edition of 100 reproduced pieces decorated with Toogood’s ROSE artwork.

I feel very comfortable outside. More than inside. It’s where all my ideas and information comes from. Space, smell, sight. With each Toogood project, connection with the landscape grows. It could be a city allotment or rolling patchwork hills
