Architexture VII:Re-fold:The V&A East

Tessellated paper collage.

Architexture VII is inspired by the building of the V&A East, designed by O’Donnell and Tuomey, and pays homage to the process and inspirations involved in the architects’ design process: “ … the outer skin of the new V&A building acts as a three-dimensional ‘folded dress’, lending the museum a distinctive form and striking identity.”

The folded form of the building’s facades, the repetition of patterns and textures inspired me to create Architexture VII- a three-dimensional collage of my photographs, folded and tessellated. These are composed around the main photograph taken in the summer of 2026 showcasing Thomas J. Price’s monumental sculpture.

Architexture VII re-folds the building’s architecture into a three-dimensional work of art.   

Outer dimensions: 103x63x5cm
