Simon Evans



Guess what I am doing this weekend? Simon Evans show, "Island Time", is currently at James Cohen Gallery in New York. The show's title is a nod to Robinson Crusoe and the handmade objects he needed to survive on a desert island.

So, young designs and designers are funded by the buyers. Check it out here.
