“Melissa Bamber is a textile designer with a sly sense of humor. Slipped into her traditional-looking designs are some very untraditional figures.
Like burlesque dancers in French damask. Laughing skulls in patterned linen. And tiny skulls on the wings of butterflies.
It’s whimsical, and it works.”
