High fashion beams industrial perfection and this year’s lodestar is emerald, the official hue of 2013. For her solo booth at NADA New York artist Meg Cranston explores the development of emerald as a global phenomenon. When in November of last year Kate Middleton strode onto a red carpet wearing an emerald pleated gown by designer Mulberry the Duchess and fashion icon ensured emerald was to become the ne plus ultra of design in the coming months. In Emerald City, Meg Cranston explores the historic yet always-evolving relationships between the beau monde and visual art with a new series of monochromes and painterly reflections on emerald.
