The Colourful World of Bella Franks. Bella was born at the Garden Hospital in Hendon in 1989. A tiny baby brought into the world at a hospital evoking. Thoughts of flowers and colours just had to be artist. She began drawing the moment she could hold a pencil in her. Left hand and has barely put it down ever since. Foundation year at City and Guilds of London Art School. Sociology and History of Art at Durham University. One year of Foundation degree in. Commercial Photography at Newcastle College.

And as imitation is the greatest form of flattery I also stole the idea. It has turned into a rather exhaustive summary of a strange year of flux; finishing university and not knowing quite what to do next. Goodbye 2016, you were good to me if no one else.

Comp-A-Tent is a compostable tent, designed for a long weekend of British weather. After 120 days in a composting facility, it decomposes into. Tents are abandoned at EU Music Festivals. Sent to landfill or incineration. Where they either never break down, or worse, leach toxins into the environment. Yet many of these tents are just used once! The Comp-A-Tent is made from non-finite, bio-based materials which are selected for their minimal environmental impact.
