In bed with art

Here are a couple of shots that I wanted to share that appeared recently in Report on Business magazine. I had great fun styling this gig and working with photographer Michael Graydon, as well as with the fab folks at RoB (Hi, Clare and David!). The concept was to create bedrooms inspired by some incredible artwork and, I have to say, I do love the results.

It might look all calm and restful, but we shot in the midst of a snowstorm just before everything shut down for the Christmas Hols. Yes, it's a real Edward Burtynsky in the second shot; 'Nickel Tailings No. 36' to be exact. Clare managed to borrow the piece for a couple of hours for the shoot, and it was very gingerly hung on the studio wall. Strangely, we couldn't get our hands on the real 'Pic Island' by Lawren Harris (lol) since it's hanging in the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.
