I was honoured to be one of the artists selected to design a Christmas card for the Tate x not just a shop competition. My design, The Five Senses of Christmas, was inspired by the way winter—especially the festive season—engages all our senses.
The rich, inescapable scent of mulled wine with its sweet, citrusy notes; the quiet sounds of cracking a walnut or footsteps in crisp snow; the warmth of candlelight on a dark evening; the sharp yet comforting touch of pine needles—all of these moments evoke a deep sensory connection to the season. I wanted to create a card that instantly stirs these sensations, offering a little moment of peace and nostalgia.
