The Cicely & Colin Rigg Contemporary Design Award
Vera Möller

"My work … employs motifs and constructed forms that reference subjects as diverse as items of clothing, bio-manipulative processes, as well as architectural, museological and open spaces. coockooland reflects my particular interest in popular culture – fashion, architecture and interior design… These hybrid forms might be interpreted as both garments (jumpers, dresses, skirts and leggings, underwear, etc) and... quasi-architectural structures incorporating windows (peepholes), aggregates of wall and voids. They emphazise the ineffectiveness of interior spaces as a protected private zone (masquerade)."
