“There’s hundreds of stories in each piece,” he stated.
“There’s an honorary iD magazine cover. There’s a piece that I wore to Buckingham Palace for the Queen’s Platinum Party, There’s pieces from everywhere you can imagine, things I find on the floor, rubbish, pieces from Bulgari, pieces from all over.”
The piece he wore on Friday was amongst his heaviest, he stated, and featured gadgets of non-public significance.
“I wanted to put all my memories of over the years, from when I was a teen, when I was bullied and all these things that meant something to me throughout my life,” Lismore stated.
“And it had mirrors, it was to kind of reflect on whoever was looking at me so they could see themselves in me somehow.”
The artist, who made his London debut with the present, offered 12 items from his touring exhibition “Be Yourself, Everybody Else is Taken” which opened in Atlanta in 2016.
