We design and make screenprints, constructions, archival pigment prints and bespoke works inspired by Norman Wilkinson's invention of Dazzle Camouflage.
Norman Wilkinson was a distinguished marine artist and the inventor of dazzle camouflage. His designs were accepted by the Admiralty and applied to ships during the Great War. Three camouflage schemes, with colour notes, appear in a series of sketchbooks alongside other sketches of warships including 4 sketches relating to HMS Verdun and the return of the Unknown Warrior.
