Octavia a Picture Researcher and Writer. And Sven, Co-Director of the Hannah Barry Gallery, live in a great, little, garden flat in Peckham. Their room feels very tranquil and definitely brings the outside in. Sven has collected most of the artwork in the room since he has been working with the Hannah Barry Gallery. More than just a bedroom, their room feels like a gallery space too.
I asked them both... "If the bedroom was on fire, what one item would you save?"...
Sven - Would save all the art, he said - he couldn't commit to just one piece (taking it a bit too seriously there, Sven!)
Octavia - I would save the teddies. The yellow one is mine from my babyhood, and the rabbit is Sven's but he wouldn't admit that he'd save it in the fire, so I'll do it for him if I can...
