Pop Up Store / April 2017

This being the first pop up store for Vaughan Baker, it was hard to have any expectations of what to expect in the three weeks we set up shop in Sydney.  Our time at The Old Clare was filled with so many lovely conversations with old and new friends.

However, in reality how is such a ‘dialogue’ conducted, and how can someone pour soul into an object? The same relationship springs up between the farmer and the land: a kind of courtly love that ties him for the rest of his life,...
