JOY WINDOW for FORTNUM & MASON
“Created by some of the finest designers, artists and freelancers from the world of London theatre, our brand-new Piccadilly Windows celebrate an industry in need of applause. Their brief was simple, ‘MAKE JOY’, but each artist’s interpretation leads them somewhere quite different to windows they sit beside, illustrating that London just wouldn’t be London without it’s most creative, theatrical, artistic and ludicrously talented inhabitants.”- Fortnum & Mason
Dalton taps into nature, springtime and good news in her vibrant interpretation of joy - Creative Review
My window seeks to combine the joy of seeing blossoming flowers with the joy of receiving a compliment. I thought about how much bad news we have had to absorb this year, and I wanted a way of counteracting this by delivering good news. I was also struck by a movement of growing, growing bigger, expanding out, a sense of freedom and life. In a time that feels so unstable in terms of climate change and the World grinding to a halt because of the virus, I wanted to show nature prevailing and that the seasons are carrying on despite whatever problems we are facing.
