“Against the landscape of industrially produced fashion knitwear, made from globalized design and polished machine work, Paris Essex celebrates the creative possibilities inherent in the handmade. Their references and inspirations are irreverent and pop: from Big Bird to Siouxsie and the Banshees. Clewer and de Lussy materialize our collective cultural dreamscape in a medium uniquely suited to it. Their work retains the warmth, playfulness and absurdity of a cartoon. In our broken moment, the escapism of Sunrise or Dazed Eyes recalls tuning in and dropping out; a psychedelic answer when reason has failed.”
