Funk Muffins
by William Rimel
Location: Pre Security, Terminal 1, Ticketing Lounge
Will Rimel’s Funk Muffins collection is based on children’s toys and figurines. Inspired by the designer artist-made toy movement, Rimel found a perfect outlet for creativity which reflects his unique worldview. The artist explains “everyone can relate to toys… I can take ideas like social masking, the constant unknown of life and figuring out just where I belong in the world and put those concepts into a toy. Creating toys gives me the ability to address serious thoughts while having a fun lighthearted approach to them.”
