The iconic Welsh designer Laura Ashley is being celebrated with a curated exhibition this summer. The free to enter museum at Llanidloes is showcasing some of the designers most significant objects and images. Within the display, visitors can find an extremely rare 1960s version dress alongside many other accessories and interior furnishings. A highly-successful business woman, Laura Ashley brought hundreds of jobs to the local economy and employed many more all over the world at the outlets. The Powys location is the home of the designer, where Laura Ashley lived and designed her iconic fashion. The museum pays particular attention to the effects the artist had on the local area with influence and benefits rising from her extensive reach. Born in Merthyr Tydfil and living close-by in affluent Rhayader, the fashion icon is still well-loved and admired by her community nearly 40 years since her death in 1985. You’ll need to visit the exhibition before the end of September, when the space is renewed for something else. The temporary showcasing will be open to all 10am to 1pm on Mondays, 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 6pm on Wednesdays, 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 4pm on Fridays, and 9.30am to 1pm on Saturdays. The work of Laura Ashley is still a much-loved aspect for designers and retro-feel clothing fans. With a thriving interior design business and a fan-favourite dress-sense, eBay is choc-full of hand-me-downs and brand-new items that carry the sought-after name.

Featured at the New Museum, and with international acclaim from an expo at the Venice Biennial, Mire Lee is captivating art lovers with her gut-wrenching installations. A fully kinetic and tactile form allows for explorations of the disgusting and the morbidly fascinating.
Born in Seoul and living in Amsterdam, Mire Lee stood out from the crowd with her 2022 ceramic entrails. The Endless House: Holes and Drips installation received a range of reviews, with being unable to look away the common denominator. Now displaying in New York’s the New Museum, a fresh batch of creepy creativity is available to admire. The walls have been layered with fabric and wet clay that’s been allowed to flow and expand with the help of a steam machine. A muddy red paint was then applied to give the material a sense of organic origin. Then, to fill the space, a variety of moving sculptures have been placed that are representations of the natural world. Metal and plastic objects are used to build the shapes with fabric and paint to finish the job. The imagination can be left to run free while standing among the grotesque and horror-film-like setting. Walking among the moving sculptures can help bring a nightmarish scene to life as visitors explore and make conscious all the chilling ideas. If you like your thrills to be over the top and designed to disgust, then you’ll be right at home at Mire Lee’s Black Sun exhibition.
