The 4th visit for A Collection Of Spaces is with Designer - Michael Marriott.
I came across Michaels work from the Modernist Estates Instagram last year. He had a popup market stall inside the new Paul Smith shop at Borough Market and it was great to see the smaller object from his 'Wood Metal Plastic' project in real life.
As with a couple of these conversions we connected about a shared interest in local Skateparks, a place that Michael visits with his son and slowly witnessing the communities they foster.
We spent the morning at his studio / workshop in Dalston, talking about setting up the space 10 years ago, how it's evolved for him and the projects that have been made there.
We spoke about the difference between a workshop & a studio as well as between designers, makers and crafts people. This first part of the conversion wasn't recorded but led us down an interesting path about the layers of visual lenses in the way we see our surrounding be that as a designer, photographer or skateboarder.

Matt grew up in the same town as me and we spent a lot of our summer evenings at the local skatepark & winters under the cover of a Morrisons carpark skating & BMXing. He was from the generation above me, so I would look up to him & his group of friends who were in bands and had cars to carry ramps around town.
Jumping forward nearly 20 years and last summer I heard Matt had started a YouTube channel as a way to connect with other makers and get out of a solo working funk we all can find ourselves in.
He's built house extensions, plastered bathrooms & fitted out retail shops. Recently he has focused his craft on cabinetry & joinery for residential clients. We spent the afternoon chatting about his journey and the workshop space he has in the Bedfordshire county side.

I really enjoyed listening back to this one, as Tami has been in the space for the past 2 years and I remember visiting when they first moved and you could feel the excitement of a group of young photographers & designers all working alongside each other.
I spent a short hour with Tami at her shared studio space aka âPlant Face Studiosâ in Peckham. She graduated from LCC in 2020 & has quickly made her mark on the photography world in the past four years. Her work can be seen in magazines, online and recently in a collaborative book with her dad exploring memory and her Pakistani heritage.
"Tami Aftab is an English-Pakistani photographer based in London. Her work touches on subjects of intimacy, family, identity, and play."

This is the first in a series of conversations around the topic of 'Space' starting off with artist Nik Adam. Nik is 1/2 of the artist duo Luke & Nik, we recorded this from their studio space in South Bermondsey, London.
"Luke & Nik are an artist duo based in Copenhagen and London respectively. Their collaboration started in 2007, creating vibrant, playful and dynamic photography and moving image work across the realms of editorial and commercial to personal projects."
