The Art Behind the Shoot: Belvoir & Waverley Mills

"I think it’s time to announce to the world how colourful Tasmania is and how important the very distinctive seasons are to us. To be able to live in an environment where there are significant natural colour shifts every few weeks not only makes for a life less ordinary but, for me, it feels as though your life is elongated," — John Wren 

John Wren is an artist with studios in both Brisbane and Tasmania. His work, primarily large-scale oil and acrylic on canvas, can be found in both private and commercial collections across Australia and Europe. 

Waverley Mills' latest collection, Weave, is a lush, opulent selection of four alpaca throws, featuring bold colours and grand checks converging on a natural background. It seemed a fitting partnership to photograph the bold, textured colours of our latest collection, Weave, at John and Catherine Wren’s stunning home, Belvoir, in West Launceston. 

At Belvoir, Catherine and John wanted to push the boundaries to the edge of comfort. It has become a “vortex where days meld into weeks. The natural light spilling into each room is compounded by the playful use of colour and texture, adding energy to their assigned theme.” 

The BernabeiFreeman-designed Weave collection melds colour and texture, adding depth and comfort to any interior. 

We hope you enjoy these photos as much as we do. John's art, with its striking use of colour and form, we believe, is the perfect foil to the structure and texture of Waverley Mills' Weave collection.
