Soft Living - An exhibition called "Soft Living"

Soft Living - An exhibition called " Soft Living" at the Buckingham Gallery in London is the work of 23 year old Harriet Freedman.
All the exhibits are made from a variety of coloured materials and sewn by hand or on a tiny sowing machine at her home on Wimbledon, South London.
A full size upright piano, a complete kitchen with electric cooker and eggs and bacon fryer in a pan are among the numerous items in the exhibition.
Unfunctional as they are, the work conveys a message of peace and an appeal for tolerance in a violent and aggressive age.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Soft Living - An exhibition called 'Soft Living' captures the essence of peace and love in a tumultuous era. Created by the talented 23-year-old artist Harriet Freedman, this remarkable collection is currently on display at the prestigious Buckingham Gallery in London. Freedman's masterpieces are meticulously crafted from an array of vibrant colored materials, skillfully sewn together by hand or with her trusty miniature sewing machine at her Wimbledon home. Amongst the captivating exhibits, one can find a life-sized upright piano and a fully equipped kitchen complete with an electric cooker and sizzling eggs and bacon in a pan. While these objects may lack functionality, they speak volumes about our society's yearning for tranquility amidst violence and aggression. Each piece conveys a powerful message of peace and serves as an impassioned appeal for tolerance during this challenging time. This evocative photograph was taken on July 21st, 1972, capturing the spirit of optimism that permeated through Freedman's work. As we gaze upon it today, it transports us back to the 1970s—a decade marked by innovation and boundless creativity. Carol Bruin's lens immortalizes this momentous exhibition—its future-forward concept resonating even decades later. The 'Soft Living' collection remains an enduring testament to Freedman's artistic vision: to create harmony through softness.
