About Episode Two with Mark Hearld

Lauren Godfrey chats with artist and illustrator Mark Hearld about rhythms in patterns, the lack of shocking pink at Kettles Yard and ways of engineering randomness.

Mark has an infectious enthusiasm for objects and ephemera, art and artefacts. He has a self-confessed Magpie Eye, honing in on the details and the fleeting moments and running with them into a creative collage of pattern and expression.

Working across collage, drawing, painting and printmaking, Mark’s work can been seen far and wide from children’s books to furnishing fabrics to leather marquetry handbags. He has collaborated with fashion houses and interiors brands to create patterns for adorning both your home and your body. His own exceptional home has been featured twice in World of Interiors and his book Raucous Invention, The Joy of Making, came out in 2022.

Mark has chosen patterns by Ben Nicholson, Peggy Angus, Comme Des Garçons, Turnbull and Asser, Mark Hearld for A State of Nature and a chapan from Uzbekistan. We discuss many more patterns in the interview.
