Fish and chips

Post by jim@NAL » Mon Sep 22, 2025 10:54 pm

Im sure you all like fish and chips ....

Im.a carpenter and iv been asked to make a few odd things in my time but this is the best so far .my sister in law works for an artist thay go all around the world installing massive bits of art work made from felt .they go and make a whole supermarket every item in the supermarket from the cans of coke to the frozen pizza is felt .a few months ago me and my dad where asked to make a chip shop counter seating cubards shelfs all out of wood for them to cover in felt and sell felt fish and chips from. I spent 3 days in a art gallery in Mayfair helping set it all up .wireing up led lights and all sorts it was a lot of fun if you Google the name lucy sparrow fish and chip shop you can see what I helped make

Well done Jim, what a wonderful opportunity for you to do something so creative in the art world. I was fortunate enough to work with upcoming artists during my early years in the art gallery in Birmingham. Some artists I worked with became major stars of today... Anthony Gormley, Anish Kapoor, Raymond Mason, Anthony Green and many more.
It is a special moment to work with someone who reacts to life in such a visually different way to the average person, and I think much of that rubbed off on me too!
It might be worth collecting one of Lucy's items for the future. Always a good talking point!
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Great to be a part of something like that Jim, I imagine it will be a talking point in the family for some time.
Apart from all the felt used, I'm thinking there must be an awful lot of some stuffing medium used in the
likes of all those sauce bottles.

Lovely work (both you and your sister) but "Cor Blimey!" Those prices - are they future proofed?πŸ˜…

As this display is in a London Gallery my guess is that the prices shown are for the individual items offered for sale... over the counter!

If so, as original art pieces from a recognised artist, they sound reasonably priced.
