Jill Phillips: Furniture & Textile Designer
In the late autumn and early winter of 2009 Craft Northern Ireland played host to ‘Different Buses: An exhibition of textiles by Jill Phillips’ (10 September to 10 November 2009). As a designer Phillips is best known as a creator of bespoke, exquisite furniture and textiles which are always conceptually as much as technically interesting.
Phillips’ work embodies a playful juxtaposition of the ‘old and new, past and present, experience and innocence, antique and modern’ and is often both subtle and deviant. Her approach has a freshness and energy in its capturing of the ‘uncanny’ quality of everyday design that lifts it out of the current trend for Design Art and oneoff bespoke pieces by designers.” Joseph McBrinn, Nov-Dec 2009
