SHONA HEATH'S SURREAL SET DESIGN

SHONA HEATH’S SURREAL SET DESIGN

I recently discovered that the set designer behind so many shoots and shows that I have loved is Shona Heath. Shona Heath is a surrealist set designer who works in the Fashion Industry creating sets for shoots, fashion films and shows. Shona Heath has worked with Tim Walker a lot in particular and designed his recent exhibition at the V&A which was incredible.

I watched a video of her speaking about her practise and approach to her work and found it so inspiring. She spoke about how a lot of the imagery that she draws upon in her work comes from a store in her mind of everything thats impacted her since she was very young. Within this video, Shona Heath speaks about lots of pieces of art that she is inspired by. I really loved the way she described which elements of each painting inspired her and and the way she translated those elements into her work.

I am really excited that I’ve discovered Shona Heath and I am really excited to research her more!
