says Giles Miller of Studio Giles Miller

摘要

With my studio's recent focus on the development of wall coverings for architectural and interior projects, the starting point for this happy imagining was a wall. After scouring London we found a wall that is not only magnificently large, but also well placed to share our message. The wall in question is the large and forbidding one that surrounds the bank of England.Giles Miller Surfaces, part of Giles Miller Studio, develops materials that display imagery through the medium of light reflection and texture rather than more-traditional methods of using colour. These materials are made to order, and some even allow the user to draw their own patterns.The Prince's Street Mural would be a large-scale brass installation, from which millions of tiny brass flaps protrude, ready to be manipulated in varying directions to display imagery.I would draw English roses, but I hope that the more accessible areas of the wall will be exploited as a medium for communication and creative expression.The location of the mural on the side of the Bank of England may make it an appropriate context for messages - perhaps it could a way for passers-by to voice their frustration over the banking crisis, or just be a place where pretty patterns could help us to look on the bright side.
