"Uuh nuuh luvvie..."
There is a great interview with Celia Birtwell on the Telegraph website. As well as describing her hilarious impression of David Hockney (that's where the title's from!), it reveals that she introduced him to technology in the first place, so we have her to thank, indirectly, for all the art he's produced via his iPhone/iPad (including the initial plans for 'Bigger Trees Near Warter')! The fabric to Celia's left (and our right) in the photo accompanying the interview was designed by Hockney for Birtwell's new fabric collection. There is a great picture on the Decorex website of curtains made from the fabric, as well as the other fabrics in the collection. How fantastic would the curtains draped across the entrance and exit to ''Bigger Trees Near Warter' at the Ferens have looked in Hockney's 'Grand Punchinellas' fabric?!

Oh CM, it would indeed have been great to have the fabric for the Ferens! The above cushion (Punchinellas & Milson Ticking Square Cushion) in Mr. Hockney's fabric can be purchased here http://www.celiabirtwell.com/products-page/?product_search=david+hockney
