Who is Bob & Eve
Bob & Eve is the creative pseudonym of British textile artist Corinna Wilson, based in Brighton. Founded in 2020, the name Bob & Eve originates from the words “bobbin” and “weave,” referencing Corinna’s passion for working with textiles and wool. Working from her studio in Brighton, she transforms wool and fabric into vibrant, tactile artworks that blend craft, colour, and contemporary design.
Artistic Background & Origins
Corinna trained in Illustration at the University of Brighton before building a career as a commercial illustrator, designing for clients including high‑end brands and department stores. She also ran a homewares business, designing bespoke products stocked internationally - including in prestigious retailers. Growing up in a household surrounded by tapestries, cross‑stitch and patchwork quilts, Corinna developed an early affection for traditional textile crafts. Eventually, she returned to these roots, founding Bob & Eve to explore textiles as a contemporary art form, combining her illustration skills with a love of handcrafted materials.
Style, Technique & Themes
Bob & Eve’s artworks are characterised by bold colour, texture and a distinct sense of playfulness. She uses a combination of hand‑tufted and machine-based techniques with wool, producing one‑off pieces that capture both the warmth of traditional craft and the energy of modern art. Many of her works draw on everyday life - British humour, social commentary, and nostalgic references - often expressed through bright typography or witty phrases. More recently, her practice has also embraced natural motifs, such as botanical and floral-inspired compositions, exploring colour, form and abstraction inspired by nature.
Works, Availability & Philosophy
Every Bob & Eve piece is designed and produced in her Brighton studio, and while her works are all unique, some phrases or designs may be repeated - each with different colour, size or style variations. Her mission is to brighten the world with humour and light‑hearted social commentary - artworks that spark joy, conversation and connection while reimagining the role of textiles as fine art. Whether for wall‑hung textile art, home décor, or gallery exhibition, Bob & Eve continues to challenge the boundaries between craft, design and contemporary art.
