Adapt22 //

A collection of mixed Media artworks

created by Josh Deane

Developing his creative identity in the fashion industry. Josh utilised his experiences to develop an exhibition where he dressed models head to toe in bespoke wearable art. A concept almost unimaginable in the recent times. Josh adapted to the changes forced by lock down.

By exploring his emotions and his endless desire to create.

Josh attempts to heal and escape the isolation and separation from society felt over the last two years.
